Lorien Stern
Lorien Stern is an artist living in Inoykern, California, a small town in the Western Mojave Desert. She makes ceramic art and runs a small brand consisting of clothing, home goods, and accessories. Often in her work, Stern attempts to disarm subjects that are typically seen as dangerous or scary (sharks, ghosts, dinosaurs to name a few), making them more familiar and approachable for a viewer through subtle visual interventions. Choosing subjects that spark thoughts of nature, celebration, and death, Stern draws from shared human and animal experiences to fulfill her ultimate goal as an artist: making people feel happy when they see her work. She received her BFA from California College of the Arts in 2013 as an Individualized Major.
