Lauren Liebermann is an abstract artist whose paintings and long-exposure photographs invite presence in an age of distraction. Her work pushes back against constant scrolling, prescribed expectations, and over-scheduled lives to make room for stillness and release.

​

Liebermann has made art for as long as she can remember, beginning as a child collaging scraps of paper into new wholes. That instinct took on new meaning when she became a mother, when life itself arrived in fragments: broken sleep, days measured in feedings, a body that no longer felt like her own. Navigating postpartum depression, she found herself sorting through the pieces of who she had been and who she was now: what was lost, what was new, and how it might all fit together. Painting became the place to find out.

​

She works over canvases laid on the floor, building each piece with her hands, her feet, and ordinary household tools. Paint goes down, is pulled away, and goes down again, until the layers settle into a single image. Her photographs follow the same method using light and motion. Using long exposures, she stacks moment upon moment so that one frame holds many. In both, the finished work is an accumulation: a collage of time, touch, and motion.

​

Her work is held in public and private collections across the United States and internationally. Originally from Connecticut, Liebermann spent twenty years in New York City before settling in Montclair, New Jersey. She holds an MBA from Columbia University and a BA in Journalism from NYU.​
