ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Raised in south Los Angeles, Lauren Wy is a painter and sculpture with a focus in a type of psychological figurative abstraction that questions our relationship to narrative, to the erotic and to the esoteric.

Lauren Wy arrived at a career in art after spending ten years as a punk musician in the underground scenes of Florida and Chicago. In 2018 she left the punk scene in Chicago to study for a Masters Degree in Fine Arts at Northwestern University. She graduated in 2020 and now she currently lives and works nomadically; hoping to find a city to call home in 2024.

Currently working with Simóndi in Turin, Italy
