Welcome, I’m Lauren Mantecón
I assist artists in stepping into their inner authority & connecting to their highest vision through intuitive art practices and practical techniques in your art making!
I provide an ongoing Wednesday class perfect for locals wanting to connect or visitors to Santa Fe.
Come learn some new painting techniques- weather a beginner or advanced practitioner- there is something for everybody.
Let’s work together!
I'm a professional artist, teacher, and intuitive mentor dedicated to supporting artists in finding their truth. With over three decades of experience, I have mastered my techniques in producing art, exhibiting, and teaching.
Consider a private mentor session or join us for a Wednesday Open Studio- from 1:30-4:30. No experience is necessary - just a curious mind. Great for an activity with family or alone. More information:
I support artists taking risks and building confidence to express their unique styles.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, I believe that art heals, first yourself, and then the world!
Various challenges you may be facing
finding and refining your voice
breaking through resistances
clarifying time management with creative priorities
setting up your studio
asking yourself where to begin and where to exhibit.
That's where a mentorship can be beneficial in achieving your goals. My intuitive approach is all about the individual first whether that is supporting you in more technique, a more intimate relationship with your process, or a refinement of your finished product.
Do you want to see if we’re a good fit? Let’s schedule a consultation.
Art is a journey of self-discovery. A space is where you and your art meet a higher spiritual frequency.
My mission is to support you in exploring those deeper dimensions of your internal self.
Join our mailing list to receive monthly art prompts and the opportunity to discuss your work at our Last Friday Zoom meeting.

Lauren has a tremendous gift and an unconventional way of teaching! She asks first what our soul desires in our art-making practice, then sets out to make it true. she creates a safe space to encourage us to resonate with our inner truth and bring out our inner light, then gives us the techniques & tools to do that.
