ABOUT LAUREN
Lauren Jane Clancy
Lauren is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and entrepreneur based in Miami Beach. Known for her raw, intuitive mixed media paintings, she works at the intersection of emotion and abstraction, layering texture, color, and language to explore identity, memory, and personal metamorphosis. Her work invites viewers into a deeply human space: one that embraces both vulnerability and vitality.
Originally from Northern New Jersey, Clancy grew up surrounded by storytelling and print, her father, a longtime newspaper editor, introduced her to language as both art form and archive. That early influence now appears symbolically in her artwork through the use of found text and newspaper, merging personal history with material texture.
Her creative path has spanned many forms, including acting, entrepreneurship, and writing. After earning a degree in business from Pace University in New York City, she immersed herself in the city’s creative energy and found resonance in the emotional power of abstract expressionism and neo-expressionism.
In 2012, Clancy was diagnosed with stage 3A Hodgkin lymphoma. In 2021, she became a mother to identical twin girls just two weeks before the sudden loss of her only sibling. These deeply transformative experiences continue to inform her work with emotional depth, spiritual resonance, and a commitment to transmuting pain into power.
She recently exhibited at the Satellite Art Show during Miami Art Week 2024, and with SAB Gallery for International Women’s Day 2025 in Wynwood. Her work was also featured in the March 2025 issue of Art Miami Magazine, and she is a proud member of the International Women’s Committee at the Pérez Art Museum Miami.
Clancy is currently writing a memoir that explores resilience, spiritual awakening, and the transcendent potential hidden within life’s most defining challenges.
Her creative practice, both visual and written, is rooted in the belief that expression is a form of transformation, and that through honest storytelling, we can find beauty, connection, and meaning, even in the chaos.
