Lavarne Ross

Lavarne Ross prints are found through out the United States and internationally. Lavarne is a native of Flint, Michigan. He has stated “I was born an artist. This is a god-given talent that I feel really blessed to be part of, because I feel Art is Me it is Us.”  Lavarne does more with his artwork than appeal to the visual senses. He relays a message, tells a story, or reveals a part of history. Viewers of his compositions marvel at the fluid images.

Lavarne is a master storyteller that depicts moments of life he has been exposed to. He captures their very essence through a paintbrush.  Today, the reflection of his other resources comes forth from the canvas where Laverne depicts family life, ancestry, music and religion. He says, “Just life itself because I have lived through a transition of the people and a city from one time period to another, as an artist, I feel obligated to record these events and changes on canvas. That is part of being an artist.”

Lavarne Ross lives in Mount Morris, Michigan. Whenever the opportunity lends itself, Lavarne works with and encourages aspiring young artists to appreciate and pursue the gift God has given them. L. Ross Studios (2017)
