Lauren YS is an LA-based artist whose work is influenced by multiple stages of focus, both geographically and in practice. From large-scale murals to multi-layered works on canvas, YS’ work draws inspiration from queer worlds, non-binary identities, mythology, dreams, psychedelia, animation, cybernetic organisms, travel, nature, human dignity, metaphysical wonderings and their mixed Asian American heritage. With a B.A. in English and Fine Art from Stanford University, YS applies their dynamic bouts in academics, literature, illustration, comics and animation to their role in the urban art sphere as a queer, Asian American femme with a deep passion for visual storytelling.
