Why Think Greatly?
Think Greatly, LLC is an art + design projects incubator led by Lauren Pallotta Stumberg – an artist, muralist, designer, illustrator and creative consultant based out of Wilmington, NC.
Think Greatly developed as a platform to amplify female-driven narratives in public art and to engage with community through creative offerings.
We specialize in the design, facilitation, and execution of public art projects. Whether it’s a dynamic mural, a community culture project, a sculptural installation, or an initiative to activate public spaces, we are ready to bring your vision to life, and document the process.
From 2012–2023, Lauren lived and worked in Atlanta, GA, where she was actively engaged in the public art scene. She received a 2016/2017 Emerging Artist Award from the City of Atlanta and has been awarded grants from various arts institutions in both Georgia and North Carolina. She has worked with neighborhood organizations, nonprofits, schools, municipalities and developers to activate spaces.
Lauren is represented by dk Gallery in Marietta, GA, and New Elements Gallery in Wilmington, NC. Inquiries to purchase her paintings and sculptures should be directed to her gallerists: Donna Krueger, dk@dkgallery.us, or Miriam Oehrlein, miriam@newelementsgallery.com.

"To think greatly is to have the gumption and resourcefulness to align actions with aspirations. This is how I operated when I lived and worked abroad in the Marshall Islands and Sicily. Yet when I moved to Atlanta, I let the vastness of the city swallow me up. I didn't know anyone. The confidence and bravery I had quickly deflated.
As I engaged with the Atlanta community through my creative offerings, my sense of self returned. I realized that I was spending a lot of time on things I cared little about, and not enough time on the the things that would lead me towards my greater goals. And so with the encouragement and support of my husband and close friends, I got the courage to create my own destiny - to think greatly."
