Moving to New York City, she quickly learned the challenges of being a young artist, leading her to teach Special Education for New York City schools and pursue a Master's degree at Manhattan College. Returning to Columbus with her son, Luna had to put her art on hold until participating in a local arts festival reignited her passion, prompting her to enroll in the Academy of Art University for a second Master's degree in Fine Arts.
Represented by a local gallery in Ohio, Luna began showing her work nationally at various events and joined the Ohio Art League, as well as participating in community organizations such as the Simon-Kenton Boyscouts and the Bicentennial Art Committee of Columbus.
