Lola Lovenotes
Lola Lovenotes (she/her) is a New York City-based muralist and visual artist, whose alias formed at a young age through her submergence in Bronx Graffiti culture. Very passionate about using her platform as a muralist to uplift marginalized communities, Lovenotes works as a teaching artist in schools in the Bronx and Manhattan. She also leads street art and graffiti workshops for the youth of these communities.
After graduating from The City College of New York with a degree in Studio Art, she went on to join Escape Artists Collective, as an Art Director and Assistant Curator. Lola has painted murals for the Bushwick Collective, as well as the Emmy-nominated fashion-related competition show Project Runway, and The Meadows Music and Arts Festival. In 2018, Lola was amongst 11 chosen artists to create art for Make Room USA, a national campaign to spread awareness about the rent affordability crisis in the United States.
This mural was selected to be in an exhibition fundraiser at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C., as well as the Torpedo Factory Arts Center for their Fall Seasonal Exhibition in Virginia. She is also frequently a featured artist in exhibitions at the C.J. Yao gallery in New York City.
