Lara Tamalunas is a self-taught painter beginning with acrylics and moving on to oils over the last several years. Inspired by city scenes, old worn-down, aged buildings and store fronts that incorporate signage, she tries to find subjects that emphasize design elements of line, color, shape, shadow, and texture. Her goal as an artist is to find new subjects that remain timeless within our ever-changing environment.

With a background in graphic design, she is currently exploring new ways to include this in her artwork.
