LAUREN CARDENAS is a Latinx studio artist who focuses on print media. Her current body of work asks the viewer to question the connotations of everyday mundane objects. She is investigating her bifurcated Mexican American identity as a subject matter.
Cardenas holds a BA in Painting, Printmaking, and Drawing from Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX; she is a Tamarind Institute Printer Training Program graduate and holds an MFA in Visual Art with a focus in Print Media from Washington University in St. Louis. Her artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She was awarded the University of Nevada, Reno Black Rock Press Redfield Fellowship (2016-2018). She created a limited edition artist book titled “Things You See in the Dark,” which is a collaboration with poet Daniel Enrique Perez.
She currently is the Assistant Professor of Printmaking at Louisiana State University.
