Creating from who you are and throwing out routine with Lauryn Alvarez

33m · Up and Becoming · 05 May 02:00

I have a conversation with Lauryn Alvarez about throwing out the routine to listen to yourself and create from a space that goes beyond just putting art out for quick consumption. We take a dive into her upbringing,  journey into creativity, her process and what a successful life being an artist mean to her.

Lauryn is an artist, photographer and multifaceted creative based in California I am constantly inspired by her and I know you will be too. Happy listening.
