​ ABOUT Lela Brunet (b. 1985) is an Atlanta-based visual artist and muralist known for her vibrant explorations of the female form, pattern, color, and movement. Her work creates a visual tension between the grace and strength of the figure and the energetic patterns that surround it. Bold color, graphic forms, florals, abstraction, and layered imagery collide to create compositions that feel simultaneously powerful, playful, and feminine.
Working across painting, murals, drawing, and design, Brunet has created large-scale public and commercial works throughout the United States. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and public spaces nationally and internationally. Her clients and collaborators include Coca-Cola, AT&T, Google, Microsoft, Meta/Facebook, TKE, Mailchimp, NCR Corporation, Pepsi, Adidas, Mellow Mushroom, Starbucks, and SoulCycle.
Brunet received her B.A. in Art Education from Kennesaw State University in 2014 and is represented by ABV Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia.
