Loren Kronemyer is an internationally exhibiting artist from Los Angeles, California. After graduating with a BFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute, she moved to Perth to work with the SymbioticA lab to obtain a Masters of Biological Arts degree at the University of Western Australia.  By approaching living material with the tools of artistic research, Loren works to create poetic, yet absurd interactions between the individual and the environment, focusing on how creative impulse marks and alters the living world.
