About

Hello! I'm Lauren Fratantonio, "Laurie" to most and I love creating art.

I find inspiration from nature, the Victorian Era (hence the name "Wistful Victorian"), and my city..

I Graduated from Daemen College in December 2012 with a BFA Degree in Painting with a Minor in Sculpture.

I love old, quirky, and macabre things.

Collector of bunny sweaters and first edition books.

I love learning to play guitar, I'm shy about it but I'm a pretty good player, and enjoy playing for my dog.

My chihuahua is my bestfriend, he's the best friend a girl could ask for!

I've been drawing since I was wee & I've never stopped.

I'm also interested in fashion as a form of art & personal expresion, so I'll post some outfit pics- not saying I'm a fashion professional by any means ;)

I believe in animal rights, and I am a vegetarian. 

I also do not believe in animal testing and use no products that are tested on animals, after all, would you like to be tested on?

This is my blog to share my artwork, inspiration, beliefs & personal style.

So, thanks again for stopping by, hope you enjoy!

- Lauren
