Lara is a born-and-bred Southern Californian, and has lived and worked here most of her life. Lara has a background in musical theater and vocal performance, and a BA in English. Art has always been her biggest love, though, and she has practiced and explored her artwork on her own since she was an itty bitty girl. Lara has two nearly-grown children, and loves spending time with them, and exploring all the wonders SoCal has to offer. She frequently geeks out over birds and sea creatures.
