Writing stories and drawing pictures was how I spent much of my kid life. I learned that pairing images with a few simple sentences could convey a big story and that a good narrative doesn't have to hand over an idea completely. Instead, it can guide the reader so that by the time they reach the end, the story has become uniquely theirs. Through life's twists and turns, this understanding was rekindled in my studio practice and for that I am grateful. Luna was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1975.
