MLT LIBRARY EXHIBITIONS

Now Showing


Mountlake Terrace Library

Lauren Quist

Exhibit Opens September 1
September 1 – 30, 2026

The Mountlake Terrace Arts Advisory Commission presents the Lauren Quist Exhibit at the Mountlake Terrace Library, 23300 58th Avenue W.


Artist Statement:
Lauren is an award-winning mixed-media artist based in Mountlake Terrace, WA. Her unique perspective, shaped by extensive childhood travel and living abroad, is central to her work. While she formally studied art at the University of Washington, her distinct practice as a painter and embroiderer is entirely self-taught. Lauren is known for her innovative technique, which combines paint and embroidery floss on canvas—a method she first developed for her senior studio project. Featured in numerous Pacific Northwest art exhibitions, her work is defined by dynamic textures and meticulously stitched elements, which invite light to dance across the canvas, granting her subjects a unique depth.

The Mountlake Terrace Arts Advisory Commission oversees the library exhibits as part of its mission to promote cultural events in the community. Library hours are Monday-Thursday 9am-8pm, Friday-Saturday 10am-6pm, and Sunday 1-5pm.
