Born in Columbus, Ohio, Lauren Luna discovered her passion for art at an early age. After receiving her degree in painting from Kent State University, she made the move to New York City where she quickly immersed herself in the bustling art scene. However, the challenges of being a young artist led her to pursue a career in Special Education while earning her Master’s degree at Manhattan College. Eventually, Luna returned to Columbus with her son, where she continued teaching and put her art on hold.
It wasn’t until Luna participated in a local arts festival that her love for creating was reignited. She enrolled in the Academy of Art University to pursue a second Master’s degree in Fine Arts, setting her on a path towards a successful career as an artist. Represented by a local gallery in Ohio, Luna began showcasing her work nationally at various events and exhibitions. She joined the Ohio Art League and actively participated in artistic organizations within her community, gaining recognition for her unique style and contributions to the arts.
In 2011, Luna made the move to Houston, Texas, seeking more opportunities as a professional artist and footwear designer. She became a member of the Fashion Footwear Association of New York and showcased her work at prestigious events such as Houston Press’ Artopia and Bayou City Arts Festival. Luna’s designs were featured in British Vogue and Glamour Magazines, solidifying her reputation as a talented and innovative artist. Now, Luna continues to create stunning paintings that captivate audiences nationwide, while also inspiring future generations as a college art professor.
