Lauren Martin (1994) is a mixed media Artist and Community Arts facilitator from Belfast. Lauren creates between sculpture, digital illustration and painting, exploring the relationship between the impact of ill health and endurance in suffering.

Her role as a community Arts facilitator heavily influences her own personal work. Working with organisations such as Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.
She specialises in working with individuals living with disabilities and creates work to tell their story.
She uses discarded pieces of material or objects to create new pieces of work and give them a new purpose; challenging the idea of usefulness in our society.

In 2024 she was awarded the University of Atypical Deaf/ Disabled Artist Fund in which she
created her first major body of work, “All At Once.” Exhibited in Arts For All.

In 2025 she was awarded the SIAP Individual Artists Funding from Arts Council NI and National Lottery for good causes. This led to her newest body of work, “Static and Sound.” Solo Exhibition in Pigment Space.
