Veronica McLaren is a part-time independent artist based in Rhode Island. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, she earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2007. From 2008 to 2013, she operated Starina’s Art™, a freelance venture that created digital products for artists in the New England independent music scene. After taking time to pursue a professional career and complete an MBA, Veronica relaunched Starina’s Art in November 2023. Through this creative endeavor, she produces original works across a variety of mediums, including digital illustration, acrylic painting, and photography. Her artwork is for sale; please visit the Art for Sale page for more information.
