Lauren Scavo-Fulk: A Sense of Place

Lauren Scavo-Fulk’s exhibition “A Sense of Place” featured her intensely detailed small-scale landscape drawings.   

In describing her drawings, Lauren Scavo-Fulk says “My work is an examination of the strong connection that exists between human consciousness and its surrounding environment, specifically the way in which our sensory experience of a place influences our subjective interpretation of it. I present the viewer with scenes of heightened atmosphere that are indicative of a sense of reflection and quiet attention to the elements of the world that are both physical and nonphysical, as the external world reflects the internal life of the viewer.”  She is “drawn to landscapes because they are both universal and personal; they are intertwined in both individual lives and collective histories, and are historically and culturally relevant in the art community and in the larger world. Though they are constantly changing, they are ever-present.”

 Lauren Scavo-Fulk is a Pittsburgh-based artist whose small-scale drawings focus on the relationship between human consciousness and the external environment.  She earned her MFA from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2019.  Her work has recently been exhibited at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, OH; Buckham Gallery in Flint, MI; Hoyt Center for the Arts in New Castle, PA; Hopkins Center for the Arts in Hopkins, MN; the Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg, PA; Artlink in Fort Wayne, IN; ArtSpace Gallery in Richmond, VA; Dacia Gallery in New York, NY; and Sweetwater Center for the Arts in Sewickley, PA.
