Lana Nguyen is a Vietnamese-Ukrainian artist based in Phoenix, Arizona, and the creative force behind Lan Art & Design. Known for her bold use of color and innovative mixed-media techniques, Lana creates vibrant works that blend hand-colored, intricately cut paper with layered resin finishes. Her signature style includes desert-inspired landscapes, abstract motifs, and whimsical animal scenes that evoke joy, peace, and deep emotional resonance.

Lana brings a unique multicultural perspective to her work—fusing Eastern European roots, Southeast Asian heritage, and the warmth of the American Southwest into each creation. A lifelong passion for mixed media drives her creative process, allowing her to explore texture, depth, and storytelling through unexpected material combinations. Her richly layered compositions often incorporate collage techniques, hand colored papers with alcohol inks, acrylic, spray paints and resin, resulting in artwork that is both technically precise and stylistically distinct.

Originally trained in design and having collaborated with interior designers in her early career, Lana now works independently, creating original artwork, custom commissions, and fine art prints for collectors around the world.
