Artiste américaine, née en 1988 à Denver (Colorado, États-Unis), vit et travaille actuellement à Paris.
Lala Drona est peintre, vidéaste et romancière, son nom provient du mot espagnol “la ladrona” qui signifie “la voleuse". Elle semble avoir adopté l’expression de Picasso : “un bon artiste copie, un grand artiste pille.” Pour créer ses œuvres, Lala affiche, revendique et s'inspire donc de ce thème du "vol". Elle a créé, à travers de son site, Based on a Fact, un vaste univers artistique inspiré de sa vie: The Lala World. Un univers parfois traumatique lié à ses expériences : elle possède un implant mammaire depuis l'âge de 16 ans suite à des soucis médicaux.
Lala a consacré tous les médiums artistiques (photo, vidéo, texte, etc.) à la création et à la définition du Lala World. Dans ce monde fantastique, on y trouve des artistes, amis ou ennemis, des Muses et des Drones (qui protègent et suivent Lala). Tous les articles qui sont postés sur ce site proviennent de la vie réelle de l’artiste, mais tous sont romancés pour créer un environnement artistique singulier.
