Laianna earned her B.S. from SUNY New Paltz in 2011. During her studies, she travelled to Paris and Provence, France where she studied art history and landscape painting. As a result of her hard work and dedication, Laianna won several scholarships that supported her through her college career. She also participated in several group shows; one notable exhibition titled "Together" took place in Chelsea, New York.

Laianna went on to study under the classically trained painter Andrew Lattimore at his atelier in Cornwall, NY for several years. After much preparation, she moved to Florence, Italy to attend the Florence Academy of Art where she studied diligently, ripening her skill and training her eye. Her exposure to the breathtaking artistic culture of Europe that year was unprecedented in her life as a creator.

Laianna spent 6 years working with pop surrealist and street artist Ron English as a studio assistant and manager; expanding her knowledge of various art genres and media. Laianna is a member of the Salmagundi Club and has won various honors and awards throughout the years in a number of group shows. She now lives and works in Kingston, NY.
