About Me
Hi I’m Lana! I’m an Afro-Dominican and White illustrator/painter. After acquiring my BA in Creative Arts, I plan to pursue illustration at a myriad of animation studios before transitioning into a full-time gallery artist. Why art? Art has helped me see make sense of the world and my place in it. It takes all the jumbled thoughts and feelings in my head and puts it on a page. Art has always been there when I’m overwhelmed, overjoyed, and when I’m looking for a challenge. It is a joy to share my art with others and I’m excited to take you on my journey of improvement.
