Black Ink by Lauren Alkier

Visual Art – Kansas City

A quirky artist that uses ink pens to create unique and surreal art works. Having grown up with a anxiety disorder that kept her from pursuing her career path in biochemistry she turned to her old and true love of artistry, with a twist. The disorder she was diagnosed with is a quiet but common disorder, she wanted to do more then just make art, she wanted to help as well and so Lauren decided to tell the world about her condition through her artwork and her Instagram. Now the self taught artist is not only creating beautiful works with just her handing ink pen and a few watercolors but reaching out to others like herself.
