Lauren Crew Photography Opening
Happy Accident is collection of images that are pretty pictures. Straying from her usual style of conceptual storytelling, Crew wanted a more loose approach for this show. She wanted to focus less on concept and more on mundane visuals or more simply, pretty pictures. A recently pink slipped art educator, she has been on summer vacation and decided to have a show that gave herself and the viewer a vacation from thinking. “It’s not that I don’t take art and artists seriously – its just that l believe that life is art and that is a given, so let’s have fun with it! I wanted this show to not take itself too seriously. Art is either by accident or through purpose and this show just happens to be by accident.” Lauren lives in Oakland, comes from quite possibly the greatest group of friends and family and loves music, swimming and traveling. When she is not at a Farmer’s Market, she is available for commissioned work, weddings and creative, photographic projects. Happy Accident is just a sample plate of Crew’s work.

I’m at Krusi Park, watching my two children cavort on the play structure, talking to my friends about how we cool off when the weather gets really hot each fall. | |||
