A passionate and resilient artist, Lauren embarked on her artistic journey driven by a profound and deeply personal motivation. Her choice to become an artist was shaped by the relentless challenges of living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and the associated comorbidities of epilepsy, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), dysautonomia, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Lauren's art serves as a powerful medium through which she explores the intricate chasm between compassion and reality, a divide she knows intimately.

Lauren beautifully captures the world of living with chronic illness, pain and suffering.

How can pain and suffering be oh so beautiful?

A part of the proceeds (either prints or commissions) are donated to the Ehlers-Danlos Society.

Sienna Cenere creates hand drawn numberism illustration, capturing the beauty and awe of the natural world by composing the subjects entirely with data that describes them.  These pieces take her roughly 50 hours to draw and upwards of a year to research. They are best viewed with a magnifying glass, curiosity, and a little time. The numbers and equations she selects provide a scientific portrait of the subject, illustrating them with data that represents their form and function. From measuring the mechanical properties of tendon, to calculating the energy a star spent on creating the atoms found within a single human being; her pieces beg the viewer to look closer and ask meaningful questions about the subjects and the sciences that inspire them. 

She began this journey with math anxiety, and found that drawing numbers in a beautiful context improved her relationship with math, providing a new doorway into the sciences.  She is now pursuing a Bachelors of science in Biology at Portland State University, funded by the Ford Family Foundation.
