I got my start painting a dumpster.

It sounds like a footnote, but it wasn't. Watching something overlooked and functional transform into something bright, purposeful, and directional, that was the moment everything clicked. Art doesn't have to hang in a gallery to matter. It can change the way people experience a space, a neighborhood, a brand.

I officially launched Lola Love Letter in late 2020. My first client was Pretzel & Pizza Creations in Frederick, Maryland, a mural full of food puns, hand lettering, and illustration. My dad came to help. It was exactly what I wanted this work to feel like: personal, hands-on, meaningful. Every project since has been some version of that.

Today, my work spans restaurants and cafés, universities, corporate events, Broadway, and communities across Central Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and New York City. The scale changes. The approach doesn't: the concept comes first, always.

I have a BA in Graphic Design and studied abroad in Florence, which has shaped everything from my letterforms to my love of maps, signage, and cinema. My professor taught me that “Concept is King” that you just have to care. I've never found a reason to disagree.

I'm in a phase of choosing the right work. I've proven I can do the work. Now I'm focused on projects that are a perfect blend of art, design, and experience, where a mural isn't just something on a wall, but part of how a space functions and how people remember it.

I paint in public on purpose. Showing the process, letting people see what hands-on creative work actually looks like, that's part of how I advocate for other artists and help people understand what's possible.

If you've got a blank wall and a story worth telling, let's talk.
