Lórien Eck was born in Los Angeles and raised in Laguna Niguel, California. She graduated from San Francisco State University with a bachelor's degree in art, then went on to earn a master's degree in education at St. Lawrence University.

Her paintings are imbued with spiritual insights that act as a catalyst in the transformation and lifting up of individuals and communities globally.

“My inspiration often comes from traveling the world on volunteer endeavors, meditation retreats and teaching sojourns. I am deeply moved by the rich textures and brilliant colors of India and the deep jungle greens of Thailand, where voices of chanting monks permeate the silence before dawn. Trekking the Guatemalan highlands brings to mind the coarse threads of hand-woven Mayan textiles and an ancient culture pulsating with fertility. Living abroad in Ghana I was steeped in images of saturated and intricate batik design motifs and the primal reds of the soil.” -Lorien Eck

Lórien’s current works of art explore the interaction between mythology, human consciousness, and nature. The images captured by the Hubble telescope provided the impetus for her cosmic collections.
