Who is Hello?
Lo is originally from Hampton Falls, NH. A proud New Englander!
They went to the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia & graduated with a BFA in Industrial Design. They were drawn to the major because of how multi-disciplinary the program is; Lo learned everything from 3D computer modeling, to welding & sketching. Today, Lo loves utilizing the variety of skills they learned, during & post, university.
Lo is a high energy artist who makes high energy pieces!
I believe in the old-time tattoo saying ‘Bold Will Hold’. I like to be bold; whether that is with the amount of black used in a piece, the saturation of colours, or depicting bold ideas. Creating highly detailed & energetic pieces is what brings me joy. I enjoy experimenting with mixing themes/elements/materials that may not typically go together to see what the outcome is… sometimes you never know the result until you make it!
Where did ‘Hell Lo’ come from?
In 2023 I completed the Appalachian Trail, a 2,200mi hike from GA - ME. During my journey I received the trail name ‘Hello’.
People would ask if my name was “Hell - Lo” or “Hello”; at first I said it was named only after the greeting. The more I thought about it, I began answering ‘both’ as I am friendly & approachable, but also sometimes a bit dark & mischievous :) thus Hell Lo was born!
