I’ve always dreamed of being a mermaid. Since I was a little girl splashing around in the paddling pool to a nerd in college singing “Under the Sea” at karaoke; Mermaiding has always been a dream of mine. Last year I stumbled upon a whole new underwater world of merfolk that swim around in tails, some for pure joy, some for fitness, and others that are actually real life, professional mermaids.
This is my Mer-story, and I cant wait to see what 2021 holds!
Originally from Oregon, Mermaid Lauren is a digital designer + illustrator now living in Sydney, Australia. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, she spent her childhood swimming in waterfalls, learning about the world of Faeries and dreaming about being a Mermaid. When she isn't doing beach clean-ups with her local environmental groups or swimming in the ocean with friends, you can find her drawing comics about her adventures as a mermaid here. She also loves baby bunnies, Sailor Moon and bubble tea.
