Laurén Gerig  is a visual artist living in Lansing, Michigan. She holds an MFA in Studio Art from Michigan State University and a BS in Studio Art from Indiana Wesleyan University. Her paintings explore landscape, memory, and responding to current environments through expressive mark-making and bold use of color. Captured with a sense of immediacy and compulsion, her paintings serve as entries to an on-going investigation of the ways we interact, impact, and hold onto places we pass through.

​

Laurén’s work has been included in several solo, small group, and national juried exhibitions including Customs House Museum & Cultural Center in Clarksville, TN, The Schmidt Art Center at Southwestern Illinois College, Sarratt Gallery at Vanderbilt University, .Soft Projects in Ypsilanti, Michigan to name a few. She has been awarded artist residencies with Golden Apple Studios, The Sable Project, and La Macina di San Cresci. Laurén has been interviewed by Visionary Art Collective and has been featured in Create! Magazine, CandyFloss Magazine as well as numerous online art blogs. Along with her studio practice, Laurén is the Director of Galleries & Outreach and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art, Art History, & Design at Michigan State University.
