Background

About Lena Imamura

Hi! I'm a multidisciplinary artist and entrepreneur born and based in New York City. I translate energy into form through light, technology, and creative infrastructure — building systems, spaces, and experiences that support cultural expression. From early work in artist collectives to founding Acountess (financial management for artists) and co-founding GLO Studio — one of the first companies to make custom neon accessible through a direct-to-consumer model — I’ve focused on building containers where creative energy can move, connect, and take visible shape. Today, I’m the artist behind GLO Studio; a partner at Metalabel, a platform where creators release work together and build shared momentum; and co-founder of GLO Modern, an experimental gallery exploring art and design as vessels for symbolism, memory, and meaning. Across all my work, I’m focused on creating the conditions for artists — including myself — to thrive.
