Lauren Asta

Lauren Asta is an artist specializing in illustration, doodle art, street art and murals.  Her murals are created freehand without any aid of a sketch, projector, or traced outline. She enjoys and embraces the process of making public artwork.  A community’s positive response and ability to follow her progress from start to finish has had a large impact on her process.

“The way we are fed information plays an important role in how we respond to a public message. It is my goal to convey information, light or heavy with content, in an attractive and animated way. Creating public artwork allows me to visually stimulate an audience and if I’m lucky, inspire them with my cast of characters doing what they do best… being humorous about the human experience.  Art creates an emotional connection within us. It allows us to pay attention, to be connected to it and thus, be connected with others.”
