At the Women’s Artist Collective, we are proud to spotlight the work of Liv Losee-Unger, a visionary muralist whose creations under the moniker ORLUarts transform public spaces into vibrant celebrations of community, nature, and feminine strength.

A Journey Rooted in Purpose

Liv’s artistic journey began in Philadelphia, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania and a Certificate in Painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 2017, she embarked on her mural career, and by 2021, she founded ORLUarts in her hometown of Oakland, California. Her work is deeply influenced by her upbringing and a commitment to creating art that serves and uplifts communities.

Art that Connects and Inspires

Liv’s murals are more than just colorful expressions; they are intentional, community-driven narratives. Her pieces often feature intricate depictions of flora, wildlife, and symbolic elements that honor the environment and celebrate the interconnectedness of all living beings. Through her art, she fosters a sense of belonging and pride, inviting viewers to engage with their surroundings in meaningful ways.

Collaborative Creations

Central to Liv’s practice is collaboration. She actively involves community members in the creative process, hosting workshops and paint days that empower individuals of all ages to contribute to the artwork. This inclusive approach not only enriches the final piece but also strengthens communal bonds and instills a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment.
