Beau Dunn is the quintessential L.A. girl. A native Angeleno, Dunn is highly regarded in the fields of contemporary art, fashion, beauty and collaborating with top brands as a digital influencer and ambassador. She is best known for her buzz-worthy photography, sculptures and paintings inspired by the paradox of childhood innocence, materialism, and consumerism; her series include Glam Barbie Portraits, Size Does Matter, Hello Kitty and “Need Money For…” neon sculptures. Dunn’s one-of-a-kind Glam Barbie print was featured in the prestigious Phillips Auction and some of her collectors include Claudia Schiffer, the Kardashian/Jenner women, Lily Collins, Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Rebel Wilson among others.
This year, Beau has stepped into the role of female entrepreneur with the launch of her new clothing and accessory line, Beau’s Babes. The fashion line allows you to custom embroidered denim jackets, sweaters and accessories with your name or favorite sayings on them. Beau is also very dedicated to giving back to the community and will be receiving the 2019 Spirit of Elysium award for her work and dedication to The Art of Elysium organization.
