Visual Arts Development Award Winner, 2006

Lauren received a Visual Arts Development Award (VADA - www.vada-awards.org), to further her artistic development by learning marquetry (the art of making pictures with wood).  Marquetry will add further unique, creative and expressive dimensions to her furniture.  Lauren studied marquetry with Dustin Doerntlein (www.veneerconcepts.com). 

The Visual Arts Development Award (VADA) is a Vancouver Foundation initiative, administered with the Contemporary Art Gallery, to assist the growth and development of British Columbia's visual artists. The Award offers opportunities for exploration in new techniques or processes to emerging or mid-career visual artists and artisans from all cultures who are working in traditional or contemporary media or techniques.
