Meet the Artist

LaurenBarretta

Lauren is a local graphic designer who was commissioned by Council to create artworks to be used during Lane Cove Festival. Lauren states her artwork:

“Celebrates the incredibly vibrant community that we call Lane Cove. For some it is our home, for others, it is a place to visit and for some, it is a hidden gem yet to be found. Through the use of vivid and playful colours, I hope to capture the beauty that we sometimes forget is right at our doorstep.”
