Hi, I'm Lauren!
Hello, there! I'm Lauren Smith, founder of Flourish + Fern, a proudly a 100% woman-owned Connecticut small art business born of a love of creating and spreading joy through art.
Fueled primarily by 90's nostalgia, plant-life, espresso, adventure, and song, my work is centered around capturing moments, big or small.
Browse our line of illustrated prints, cards, and stickers to beautify your space, gift to a loved one, or check out what's on the calendar for our upcoming art workshops and join in the making!
Life is art. Create daily. Spread joy. 🌿
Home Studio Vibes: Behind the Scenes
When you're a full time artist, what *would* be your dining room usually looks like!
Snapped this shot of my home studio in full swing getting ready for Flourish + Fern's first wholesale trade show in Atlanta, July 2024.
It's the little things, right? Like being super excited about this new vertical greeting card spinner stand, when the displays get a glow up.

Stickers
As durable as they are cute. Waterproof, dishwasher-safe, fade-resistant vinyl stickers designed to delight whether at home or on the go.
Word on the street is they hold up even on cars here in New England... so if that isn't a testament to their superior quality and durability we don't know what is.
