I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to three such artists. All sharing two similarities: their love for art and their amazing talent. The first artist is Lauryn Yovino. Lauryn is clearly an artist who doesn't feel that art should be categorized by any traditional labels. Her art is very nature focused, and has a very strong femine undertone. Her bold dipiction of the female body is inviting, enchanting and empowering. In addition to her illustrations, Lauryn makes clothing and accessories that incoporate her artistic style.
Pauly: So Lauryn, What's Your Strive(s)?
Lauryn: My goal is to share my artwork with as many people as possible. I want to make others think of things they may not have thought of before, by using my artwork as a platform for conversation. Mostly I'd like to make people smile and think a little deeper. I'd also like to travel the world, and plan to use my artwork as a means to accomplish this.
Pauly: Where are you from?
Lauryn: I grew up in Long Island, New York, but for the past seven years I've lived in New York City.
Pauly: How did you get started?
Lauryn: I got started drawing very young and was continually encouraged to keep creating by my parents. I attended the School of Visual Arts and upon graduating did several freelance jobs with a few small companies such as BSI Merchandise & Micro Films. Plus having a few gallery shows in NY: Madame X, The National Arts Club, and Don Hills collaborative art show.
