LAUREN LAZARUS
Knoxville-based artist, Lauren Lazarus, has produced a wide variety of art in recent years, ranging anywhere from vibrant alcohol ink paintings to larger than life abstracts. In late 2019, she launched her gallery, located at 108-2 E. Jackson Ave in the historic "Old City" neighborhood of downtown Knoxville, called the LAZ Gallery. Unfortunately, the surprise pandemic threw a wrench in things, as we all know. But nothing can stop an artist from creating. 2020 was the year for heavy social media usage and less face-to-face time. Feel free to contact and connect with Lauren via her website, email or social media -- links below.

JESSICA RAMSEY
Jessica Dover Ramsey, artist and owner of Jessica Ramsey Art & Murals, traces her love of art to second grade. “My mother started the Art Masters art program at Sequoyah Elementary School. I got to explore different genres at home and at school. I became excited about art in elementary school. In middle school, it was my favorite class. At West High School, I couldn’t take enough art.
“I’m honored that so many clients want my murals and art in their space,” she said. “I consult with clients about their vision, and I make their dreams a reality. What they have dreamt up, I will manifest. I think great art tells a great story." |
