Lauren

Lauren Horn, creator of This is Not a Sketchbook, is an art teacher based out of Fort Worth, Texas.

Lauren is passionate about making art accessible to everyone. She spent most of her life playing basketball, and wasn't able to pursue art until later in life. She wanted to give everyone the chance to take an art class, even if they missed out in school, like her.

Lauren has 3 boys with her husband, Dillon. She enjoys roller blading, making her own art, visiting her family in Colorado, vacationing in Costa Rica, and reading.

Becca

Rebecca (Becca) Waugh is an artist based in Fort Worth, Texas. She is responsible for digitizing Lauren's lessons for the book, often coaching Lauren in publishing a book, as she has been through the process with her Fort Worth and Texas based coloring books.
She received a BFA in Studio Art with a focus in drawing and painting from the University of North Texas in 2013. 

In 2021, Becca launched a graphic design, illustration, and animation studio called Sleepy Panther Design Co which allows her to support her community and beyond with her artistic skills and design services. 
Becca has experienced, both professionally or leisurely, how developing artistic skills can enrich one's life. She hopes her contribution to TINAS can benefit all who have an interest in drawing and the arts.
