Lania's profile

Lania D’Agostino is an avid (some would say obsessed) maker of things. Some of these creations begin with direction from an emotionally charged connection to a social issue and others are creations that evolve from a direct flow from her inner spiritual self. This intuitional direction shows mostly in her drawings and paintings as she creates figurative works of child like images with jackrabbits, toys and large eyed children. These all seem to have an underlying feeling of an emotionally charged world of the knowing of the unknown.
In her spare time D’Agostino runs her company D’Agostino Studios LLC where she and her amazing staff of artists design and build life cast figures and custom mannequins for the museum and film industry. After doing this work for many year D’Agostino began incorporating these skills to do direct body casts of some of Baltimore’s homeless youth. The sculpture #homelesss is one of the pieces from these castings and is now on view in the lobby of Baltimore’s Health Care for the Homeless. Another project is the ongoing castings of the transgender community. These pieces have been shown in solo and group shows and she hopes to bring awareness and acceptance of this community with this work.
