Artwork Description

In Australia, we all swear at flies.

From my, “Once Upon A Table” series, “Unwelcome Guest” features my fave wooden bowl filled with steamy hot, bright red, unsplit Cheerios (that’s what we call them in QLD), and a cheeky little house fly who is keen to join the party.

Growing up, my favourite memories were birthday parties or sleepovers when out came the cheerios and some dippy sauce. No one ever ate the split ones. Even now as an adult I revert to cheerios as a joyful meal, or when I can’t be arsed cooking dinner.

This unique and quirky artwork really packs a punch with colour and a dash of humour, and would suit a quirky and Australian-nostalgic collector in their kitchen, dining, or anywhere that needs “cheerio-ing” up. I’ll be honest, I would love to see this on the back of someone’s toilet door.

This is a digitally drawn artwork that has been professionally printed on a plastic composite using professional UV inks that are full of depth and colour, then housed in a sleek white aluminium frame.

You can be assured of a quality piece that will not be reprinted, only you will own this design.

My Once Upon A Table series is a collection of kitchen scenes, foods and items to incite a feeling of joy and nostalgia. These images are from my childhood memories and are a way of me connecting with, understanding and ultimately healing from the childhood trauma I experienced.

Artist Bio

Hi, I’m Lauren M, and a big thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio.

I’m an artist from Toowoomba, Queensland and I’m a mother to two equally crazy and creative kids. I work part time as a support worker and love being a part of the disability community.

I work in both digital media and oil paint - such opposing mediums I know, but both serve a purpose to bring to life the artwork I create.

I am inspired by the modern Australian narrative, but it’s not usually the flora and fauna, as beautiful as it is. I am more interested in subjects that invoke a memory or emotion from my childhood.
I paint and create what captures my attention - these subjects are typically overlooked, childlike objects that invoke a memory or emotion. These subjects are expressed in the pop art genre, where I can inject humour and a bright colour pallette, although lately I am finding myself dabbling in the contemporary still
life genre.
