Lauren Austin, the principal of that black girl art, is a fabric artist creating art quilts for sale and as commissions with her own hand-dyed materials. She is also a storyteller and teacher offering a variety of presentations and hands-on workshops for all ages on African American culture and history as expressed through her art.

“My work is conceived for people to see, touch and experience in ways that bring out not just memories but emotions. Through my interactive presentations and workshops in schools, community centers and galleries, I encourage others to find paths back to their own personal and cultural history to bring it forward to new generations.”
