Dear Reader,
I began writing my personal blog, Lux Lotus, a meditation on art, politics, and style, at a brief job in a windowless room on the Upper East Side in 2004, and wrote regularly if not daily until 2015, when my energy shifted to social media and other affairs.
How I've always described it: Lux Lotus doesn't mean anything specific; I made it up. I (now infrequently) write about travels, clothes, and flights of fancy, as well as experiences I've recently enjoyed, and what I think that I might like to do next.
I've written for other publications on other topics, by request, and been interviewed now and then. Some of these pieces remain online, and most have been linked to here, with the exception of an interview at Feather Factor, a feature that included me in Poets & Writers, and a streak as Literary Hub's first gala correspondent.
This summer, I'll close my public relations shop and leave New York City, where I arrived in 1997 for a heady few months at seventeen and returned to stay in 2002, to pursue a desire to study jewelry and seek out new horizons in Italy. I may leave the internet, or I may start writing again. I'll share news here.
This image is a snapshot of a portrait my old and dear friend Maud Newton commissioned for my birthday last week, by the artist Susan Maddux, and gave to me in my garden in Brooklyn.
Always,
Lauren
