Liv Dufrene

Liv Dufrene is a multidisciplinary artist and writer whose debut narrative memoir is forthcoming. As a figurative surrealist, her visual work reflects her love for the wild, for mystery, and the relationships between humans and the rest of the natural world. Her femme-centric and archetypal work invokes an ancient yet everyday magic, with an emphasis on healing and transformation. Across both her writing and visual practice, Liv asks the reader and the viewer to look deeper and reflect in the midst of a chaotic world.

Liv’s fine art portfolio is extensive, while her murals can be found across six continents. Her current body of oil paintings often depicts therianthropic deities and figures that blur the boundaries between human, animal and myth.

Liv spent her formative years living between Europe, Southeast Asia, and the United States, with Cajun roots in South Louisiana, giving her a fluid and unconventional understanding of home. Years spent traveling as a global nomad exposed her to a multitude of cultures, perspectives and beliefs, experiences that continue to shape both her visual art and her writing. Ultimately, Liv’s work is an ongoing exploration of what it means to move through the world awake to its mystery — and to weave our own unfolding stories within it.

Liv is a full-time writer and painter currently based in Los Angeles, California. Her studio was lost in the Eaton Fire in January 2025, though many of her works were fortunately rescued. Please get in touch directly for mural and commission inquiries, as well as to collect original paintings.
