She returned to California and began showing her work on social media and began selling her artworks on various platforms, starting her career. Duran now lives and works New York City.
“My artwork explores the meditative and subconscious. I’ve always been preoccupied with the unseen world around us trying to understand quantum, mechanic and metaphysics. The unseen forces pulling us together, which is the ultimate mystery of the universe. “
