About the Artist

Lauren Luna was born and raised in Columbus,
Ohio. She knew at an early age what she wanted to
be when she grew up. Unlike other young adults
who's childhood aspirations usually change,
Lauren's desire to be an artist remained.

After graduation from high school, she went of to
college to pursue her dream in art. After transferring
to Kent State University, from where she graduated,
she learned that in order to be "a famous artist", she
had to move to New York City; that was when the
obsession began. Every year, twice a year, Lauren
would go to New York on art related trips coming
back more inspired, and more determined than ever.

     When she received her Bachelors of Fine Arts in
2000, she immediately moved to the East Coast.
She settled ultimately in the Bronx where she
commuted every weekend to volunteer in a gallery.

      Lauren quickly learned the hardships of living in
New York City and eventually became a teacher to
make ends meet. She later had a son, and returned
to her hometown of Columbus where she and her
family currently reside. After a several year hiatus,
Lauren is now an actively producing artist working
on many new series.
