Lester John Settoon III

Digital Design

Lester John Settoon III, known as Trace, is an emerging multidisciplinary artist whose work explores perception, identity, and the translation of internal experience into visual form. Having always been creatively driven, Trace has developed an expressive and unconventional approach through his time at the University of Colorado Denver. His practice blends digital and physical media, often drawing from personal memory, humor, and sensory experience. Opportunities within the program have allowed him to refine both his technical skills and conceptual voice, leading to work that is bold, layered, and introspective. As he transitions into the professional world, Trace aims to continue evolving as a creative, bringing authenticity, experimentation, and a strong visual identity into every project he pursues.
