Loren Marie was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Upon entering college, she moved to the Bay Area to pursue art, where she received her BFA in Pictorial Arts and double minors in Graphic Design and Art History and Visual Culture. In 2024, she graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, with a Master of Fine Arts. She is passionate about materials and methods, working in mediums spanning in oil and watercolor painting, pastel, charcoal, scratchboard, printmaking, gold leaf gilding and ceramics. Natively working in mediums she can touch, Loren found interest in graphic design and is adept in both digital illustration and painting, brand content creation, and typography. Her work is project based. Her most recent series is based off photomicrographs of vasculitis cells and CT chest scans, in an effort to create a conversation around autoimmune and invisible illnesses. She creates a visual connection between nature and these scientific images, bringing a delicate beauty to an intense topic. Her undergraduate body of work specialized in large scale figurative drawings made with charcoal and gold leaf, exploring the themes and ideology of iconography as Loren creates her own female icons.
In 2019, Loren was awarded the opportunity to study 18th century French Art History while abroad in Paris, France. Continuing in her artistic and educational studies, she studied at CSU Firenze and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, for the 2019 to 2020 academic year in Florence, Italy.
