Lauren Kelly (b. 1994, Citizen Potawatomi) is an artist based in Oklahoma. Her traditional name is Yankobjegekwe, or Connects the Generations Woman.

Specializing in acrylic painting, Kelly is best known for her distinctive style characterized by busy, asymmetrical deviations on traditional floral and woodland designs and dreamy, semi-surreal figures. Her work explores themes of women and femininity, body autonomy, the interior of the human psyche, and ancestral connection.

In addition to her arts career, Lauren is also a consultant and contributor with various arts and Native organizations in Oklahoma and beyond, including her service as a board member, Access & Opportunity Committee member, and Gallery Committee chair with the Norman Arts Council.
