Formative years at an Arts High School and later at the Rhode Island School of Design created conditions to dream, and ask “for what, for whom,” often. This deep seated commitment to explore and reflect is also greatly inspired by a life-long curiosity with Zen and the art of living well, physically, mentally, spiritually.
With over 10 year of experience of creating art and design for a number of creative projects, endeavors include illustrating and designing for wall coverings and large scale murals for hospitality. Clients have included Netflix, HGTV, Terry Crews and Guy Fieri. Creative roles include co-art directing and creating art for multiple wall covering collections with Astek that have gone on to win various awards. This includes co-art directing and creating art for the collection “Resonance,” Winner of Interior Designs Best of Year People’s Choice award and a Finalist for the Hospitality Design Awards. Other notable designs include NYCxDesign Honoree award from ICFF and Interior Design Magazine for art created for art in both collections “Phantasm” and “Botanica Magna.”
Having deeply benefited from the ways the arts has been transformative in her own journey and healing, Larene strives to explore ways access to art and whole-person wellness can be made more readily available to all.
