Lu Ross’ education as a photographer and digital artist began with her computer science education at Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago.

Style
Lu’s work is representational as well as abstract. It is characterized by the way she captures light, by her love of bold and vivid colors, as well as her masterful use of the artistic elements of line, texture, and shape. Her favorite subject matter is the beauty found in nature and its interaction with light, especially the magical light found during sunset and sunrise. Her abstract work is often an isolated section of a scene, yet its color and expression convey strong emotions.
