CHRISTINA GUERRERO

I am a multi-medium artist who comes from San Francisco, California. Raised in Los Banos I eventually developed an interest in art during middle school. Currently I work at a restaurant while she attends California State University, Stanislaus in Turlock. Media I tend to practice in includes are painting, watercolor and digital.

When describing myself I tend to be shy and quiet around new people or around certain people, depending on how overwhelming they are. Yet around familiar people I can be more talkative and jokes around. Spacing out is a common occurrence for me which often makes it difficult to focus on work or talking with others . Despite spacing out a lot, one of the activities that will always bring me back into focus is art.

When creating art, I established a mindset of “ I don’t want this to feel like a waste of time”. It sounds strict but it’s more, so I want to have fun with what is being created. When planning a drawing I imagine the form, perspective and even the movement. Once a sketch is finished, I go to my favorite part of choosing lighting and colors and seeing how they blend. It’s a very long process that takes hours or days at most. The reason I spend so long with color is due to study or admiration on trying to replicate colors I see in real life. In fact, I get a lot of color inspiration from the Rococo and Impressionism era.
