Art made to bring a little more joy into everyday life.
Nature-inspired art, illustrated goods & creative experiences — from Connecticut artist Lauren Smith.
The artist behind Flourish + Fern
Flourish + Fern started with a love of capturing the feeling of a moment through artwork and illustration — the places, details and everyday things that spark joy. The way I see the world.
Somewhere along the way, I realized that same perspective extends far beyond what I put on paper. There’s art in the experiences we create, the ways we bring people together, and the beautiful spaces and little details that make ordinary moments feel special.
Turns out, creativity has a way of spilling into everything.
Life is art. Or so the philosophy goes around here.
I believe creativity belongs in everyday life — in the things we surround ourselves with, the things we make with our hands, and the spaces and experiences we create for each other.
Flourish + Fern is my way of putting a little more beauty, curiosity and play into everyday life to celebrate moments both big and small.

Art has a way of bringing us together.
A piece of art can remind you of somewhere you've been, become part of someone's home, or give a table full of people a reason to sit down and make something together.
However you find your way here, I hope you leave with something that feels a little more joyful, meaningful or entirely YOU.
