Destin LaGrone

Destin LaGrone is a multidisciplinary artist based in Dallas, Texas, working primarily in surreal and expressive painting and drawing. Her work bridges dreamlike symbolism with raw emotional storytelling, using distorted figures, contrast, and bold color to capture the in-between spaces of identity, memory, and inner transformation.

Much of her work is rooted in personal psychological landscapes and collective ancestral memory, accessed through transcendental meditation, sleep experiments, lucid dreaming, and moments of emotional rupture. She is drawn to the tension between beauty and discomfort, and uses visual metaphor to surface the unspoken and/or unseen.

She often begins with intuitive sketches, letting her subconscious guide the composition. Oil, acrylic, ink, or mixed media, allowing each piece to evolve over time.

Through her art she aims to create portals, spaces where the internal world is made visible. Creating opportunities for viewers to recognize pieces of themselves within, to sit with their own discomfort or vulnerabilities, to reveal their own narratives, and to learn to embrace the emotional complexity of existence.
