(b. Dallas, TX) Lu Loveless is an artist and designer whose work moves between painting, sculpture, architecture and installation. Trained in painting and sculpture, and later in architecture, she draws on weaving traditions, including the women weavers of the Bauhaus, and on modernist architecture, especially Brutalist buildings. Her years as an interior designer added a love of furniture and an obsession with pattern and texture. These sources show up in repeated and woven forms, punchy color palettes, overlapping patterns and abstractions of the built environment.

​

Her career began in visual display, creating site-specific retail installations for Anthropologie. Wanting to understand how spaces are actually built, she studied architecture and became an interior designer. In her 10 years as a designer, she has designed art installations, custom flooring, rugs, and other bespoke surfaces for projects across the country. That experience shapes how she approaches art: how a piece sits on a wall, how it transforms a space or tells a story, and how it becomes part of someone’s daily life.

​

At its core, her practice is about making work that feels vibrant and invites curiosity rather than intimidation, with moments of visual rhythm and emotional resonance. Whether it appears in a public space, a home, or a community setting, she hopes it makes people slow down, notice their surroundings, and feel connected to the spaces they move through every day.

Lu lives in Dallas, Texas with her two young daughters and long-time partner.
