She’s the talented artist behind our Sun Ray print ─Lauryn Alvarez is known for her soulful artworks inspired by Southern California's landscapes.
Lauryn she shares insights into her artistic process, the inspiration behind her designs, and how her surroundings influence her artwork.
Can you share with us what initially sparked your passion for art and led you on the journey to becoming a professional artist?
My interest in art began as early as I can remember. Creating art has always been apart of who I am. I knew from a young age I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that looked like. I dabbled in various forms of creative expression as a child. I made drawings, painted, sculpted, sewed, filmed videos, took photos, wrote stories.
Being a professional artist really came natural to me. I would share my work on social media and people were interested in it and wanted more. It took a leap of faith pursuing art full time and it’s not always easy but I’m very grateful for this journey I’m on.
Describe a typical day in your life, from your creative process to how you find moments of inspiration?
I then try and get out in the early afternoon to catch some sunshine and enjoy nature.
I find it so crucial to my creative process and well-being in general to prioritize being outside as much as possible.
Share three things you love about living in Southern California?

I’ve been wearing the Atoll Bikini Top lounging in the sun and staying active at the beach—it’s quickly become my go-to. The fit is true to size and feels super supportive thanks to the molded elastic under the bust and adjustable straps. I love how soft the fabric is, and it is such a flattering fit without feeling restrictive.
As someone who’s in and out of the ocean all the time, I appreciate that it holds up well in saltwater and sun—and the UPF 50+ protection is a huge bonus. Plus, the fact that it’s made from regenerated materials like ghost nets and ocean plastic makes me feel good about wearing it!
As a minimal, stylish piece that fits well & feels good, I'd highly recommend!
I have never felt more supported and hugged by a suit. The fabric is the top notch quality. I’m heavy on the chest so it is normally such a struggle to find a surf suit that fits perfect. I can surf in this suit without it moving at all! Couldn’t suggest this suit more!! Also side note.. FAV pilates and yoga outfit as well!! Will be wearing this suit all day everyday this summer!!
I've been wearing my September Atoll Top and Lucky bottoms to the pool and the beach and just love the classic fit. It's super elegant and functional, so I can lounge in it or be active and take it out to the surf! The Lagoon Green Stripe print is super fun too and makes me feel like I'm surfing in the 60s which is such a vibe.
This bikini supports good and stays in place while surfing this was exactly what I needed! I can not believe how comfortable with this bottom, highly recommend 🙌🙌🙌
This is one of my favorite one pieces to surf in! The material is soooo silky smooth and it fits snug but comfy. The back detail is cute and it doesn’t move around even in big surf! If it’s a sunny day I like to throw a cropped rash guard over it.
I’m 5’3” and am wearing XS (My usual size AU6) it fits me perfect. The print and color is super cute and standing out in the water. This suit is also so comfortable and You don't need to worry anything while surfing. Defiantly recommend!!
I purchased this item few months ago, I enjoyed it very much.
I believe this is the prettiest bikini I ever had. The fit is very flattering, the fabric is simply beautiful and really well made. I'm in awe. Needed to exchange for a different size (only the top) and the whole process was easy. I cannot wait for my second purchase!
Great colour and design
Love how the material feels and the color!
Great piece
Love this green and white pattern and the easy fit!
The Scorpion top is fantastic! I love the high neck and long sleeves for sun protection. The ribbed texture is a nice touch, and the quality is amazing. It feels so luxurious and super comfy. It pairs wonderfully with either the Lucky or Eros bottom. Definitely a great addition to my swimwear collection!
I recently picked up the Eros bottom, and it’s my new favorite for surfing this season. It’s cheekier than the Lucky, which I like, and the high waist is super flattering. Plus, it stays put, even in big waves. The quality is top-notch and totally luxury. Definitely my go-to for the recent summer swells.
I just got the Topanga surf top, and it's awesome! It's like a sports bra, super comfy, and it stays put. The quality is great, really sturdy and holds up well in the water. Plus, it fits perfectly true to size. Definitely a solid choice for any surf day!
