Lauren Colt

Lauren is a work-in-progress of the Master Artist, Jesus Christ. Joyful because of His care, she is stepping into her calling as an artist innovator planted at the intersection of art, faith, and politics.

At Gordon College, Lauren majored in Political Science, minored in Innovation & Social Enterprise, and delighted in visual art, choral singing, and theater. Alongside friends in the Global Scholars Program, she traveled Paul’s missionary journey routes through Corinth and served hot meals with refugees in Brussels. She spent an unexpected and formative semester exploring artmaking and the theology of Romans in Orvieto. Between the rainy streets of Tacoma, WA, the castles of Vicenza, Italy, the palm trees of San Diego, CA, and the bustling history of Washington, D.C., the North Shore of Massachusetts feels most like home.

Lauren loves to research and create loveliness & order out of chaos. She could spend hours sitting down at a café with you, hearing about the things you love and delightedly discussing some of her favorite topics (currently: dystopian novels, live theater, personality psychology, and interactive museums!). Inspired by her four years with Heritage and work in the non-profit realm, she hopes to spend her life bringing beauty to broken systems and hurting people.
