HOW DID WE MAKE IT TO HGTV  HOME TOWN KICKSTART?  Let me begin by sharing a little bit about us. Some have asked, but my name is not Luna lol, my name is Laura and the name of my business is LUNA VERDE DESIGN which means green moon.  This name has both cultural significance in Colombia and points to my inspiration from nature.  A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME   I was born and raised in Colombia and didn't move to the US until I was 25. I always had a passion for art since I can remember and I really wanted to get an art degree but that required going to a private university that was impossible for my family to afford. So I ended up studying psychology for 5 years and just as I was about to graduate, I moved to the US after marrying my husband.

Hi everyone, I’m Laura, the founder of Luna Verde Design!    In this blog you will find the meaning of my artwork, how I get inspired and how I want to use this gift to communicate my life experiences and how God works through them.  a little story about me, I was born and raised in Santa Marta, Colombia where my love and passion for making art began.  When I was 8 I was able to scrape together enough money to buy materials to make beaded jewelry that I sold to friends and family.  After high school I began studying graphic design at a university in my hometown but unfortunately had to quit my studies since the private university became unaffordable for my situation at the time.  I later studied psychology at the public university in town which was much more affordable and that’s when I met my husband from the United States.  After almost two years we got married and moved to the US.   The beach I grew up going to just minutes from my house in Col...
