About the Artist

Lauren Asta is a traveling muralist and artist. She specializes in illustration, oddity art, doodle art, street art and murals. Her murals are all hand painted without any aid of a sketch, projector, or traced outlined. She works completely free hand.

“It is my goal as an artist to convey information, whether it’s 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. The creation and accomplishment of public art is where I believe my art thrives best. The enormous amount of intentional memories that are created, documented and shared in front of my murals are so profound, it should continually remind us that art is indeed an important part of our lives. I wanted people to walk into these hallways at the WNDR Museum entering a doodle world of amazement and awe. To ‘get lost’ in a world of art and space and time! To let your creative mind run free and to feel like a kid again. Take a pause on life and enjoy the doodle life.” – Lauren Asta
