"I want my art to express its dreamy other world of personal mythology where secret lives are awakened and we can converse with all that's vital and living.  Where else can you stay, transfixed by what you see?"

Lara Dann is a self-taught artist.  When most kids were glued to the television, Lara was drawing.  She wanted nothing else, except to be outside...to explore nature...from the life of an ant to the vast and endless sea.  Lara's formative years were spent in Southern California with many relocations during her childhood.  She finished school in upstate New York in '89 and continued her education for a year attending design school at a private school of the arts.  Lara worked as a graphic designer for 7 years until she decided upon a career as a full time LMT.  She graduated from the New York Institute of Massage in Buffalo in the late '90s and had a successful career as a LMT for 8 years, specializing in deep tissue acute and chronic care.  After having her two children and coming full circle, Lara once again, turns her full attention to the arts, and has been developing her own unique style.
