BIOGRAPHY
Beau Dunn is an American visual artist, model, and entrepreneur based in Los Angeles, California. Dunn is a huge animal lover, world traveler, and a humble philanthropist. Her positivity and perseverance are highlighted throughout her career and social media channels. Featured in over 50 publications, Forbes Magazine named Dunn a top emerging female artist and double threat, having both beauty and brains. Her artwork focuses on the mediums of mixed media, sculpture, neon, photography, and painting. Dunn has developed a practice that is recognizable for its bold color patterns, social commentary on societal pressures, and tone of childhood innocence. Growing up in Beverly Hills, with the constant pressure and pursuit of perfection, inspired her famous Barbie portraits and neon sculptures, Dunn’s artwork can be seen in galleries and exhibits around the world, as well as in the homes of some of Hollywood’s most famous residents.
Highly regarded in the fields of fashion, beauty, and wellness, Dunn has worked with luxury brands as a model, ambassador and artist. An entrepreneur at heart, Dunn founded fashion brand Beau's Babes and is a lead investor in Plastic Gallery, a new contemporary LA-based gallery. Chosen by Artnet as one of the top 10 young movers and shakers in the Los Angeles Art Scene - Dunn’s collection of contemporary art spans over 200 pieces.
Passionate about giving back to her community and always looking for ways to help others, Dunn was recently named the 2020 Global Ambassador for Road Dogs Charity and received the 2019 Spirit Award from the Art of Elysium.
