About The Artist
I’M NANA
​
Painter, Graphic Designer, Photo Editor and Creative+
I am also the artist to
THE VERY 1ST LGBTQ+ TRAVELING MURAL IN SAN ANTONIO
I’m a '9l baby and have been a professional, self-representing artist since I was 11 years old; working from San Antonio, Texas where I was born and raised.
I have been drawing since a very young age! Portraits are my favorite and I still do a massive load of them as commission work for clients! I started commissioning my art around the age of 15 and from there my processes and creative skills have blossomed.
​
I love all forms of design and the creative industries but interiors have become my go to. There's something about how a space can make you feel that I find so motivating!
​
With health and fitness being a massive part of my lifestyle, I find my work today being a lot about self awareness. Whether that's our physical bodies and the way we look, or our minds and the way we feel. Knowing ourselves is a process that is a constant lesson and I aim to aid that with Art.
​
I have also started to get into live painting and do it often now! Every first Friday to be exact! My newest style, especially for live painting, has been by only using a pallet knife and my hands!
If you've just read through all of that, thanks! lol!
Hopefully you feel like you know me a bit more! and If your intrigued about creating a piece of art feel free to contact me!!

Behind the Art
My inspiration comes from a desire to inspire others to explore themselves and find freedom in expressing who they are. I believe that everyone deserves to feel embraced as they are and feel comfortable in their skin
​
Being a Creative that does many styles of art there are so many different reasons why I do what I do. Also, why I LOVE WHAT I DO! I believe that life is an adventure and there is an abundance of inspiration all around us
​
Being able to do mural work or commission portraits are pretty self explanatory as to why I love to do them so much! Creating lasting memories for those who request them is one of the most amazing feelings.
​
As mentioned above most of my art pieces are of the physical body, for these
I aim to offer a space for you to see yourself in the subjects I paint; these bold, authentic and confident people who are eager to shine bright (most pieces glow under blacklight) in the world vibrantly and with enthusiasm.
​
Lastly,
My chicana styled art (mainly my stickers) are a way for me to show my playful side that seems to really connect with y'all! Stickers have definitely been my most bought items and I enjoy seeing my work on tumblers, journals, laptops, etc.
