About THE ARTIST

Verlune is an emerging interdisciplinary visual artist whose practice spans oils on wood, textiles, laminated canvas, glass and sculptural forms. Each work is distinct not only in medium but in presentation—her frames are individually handmade and hand-carved, reinforcing her commitment to craftsmanship and singularity. Working with recycled materials, she ensures that no two pieces share the same shape, size, or texture. 

An autodidactic and deeply intuitive creator, Verlune approaches art without adherence to formal training or prescribed technique. Her process is fluid and subconscious, allowing colors, symbols, and forms to surface gradually over extended periods of time—often years. She describes creation as a shifting state.  Alternating between catharsis, torment, and peace: at once healing and exacting, requiring both surrender and obsessive care.

Verlune began painting earnestly in her mid-twenties. Since then, her work has evolved into a deeply personal visual language shaped by lived experience. An avid traveler, she draws inspiration from the landscapes, cultures, and perspectives she has encountered. Her pieces frequently explore themes of womanhood, spirituality, ecological fragility, and the ongoing absence of meaningful reconciliation and cultural pride for Indigenous communities worldwide.

Verlune’s practice is also informed by her experience living with chronic illness. She credits this reality with deepening her introspection and empathy, as well as contributing to the subtle psychedelic undercurrents present throughout her work—consciousness shaped by isolation, endurance, and inner exploration.

Beyond the studio, Verlune is an engaged humanitarian. She donates half of all proceeds from her artwork to ethical non-profit organizations and actively volunteers when possible. She is currently involved with her local soup kitchen and food bank, Rainbow Kitchen, and is listed with World Central Kitchen. Open to collaborating with causes meaningful to collectors, she views giving as an essential counterbalance to the solitude of artistic practice.
