Feature Artist: Maricarmen Garcia
Maricarmen is a senior at Dehesa Charter School and has been a passionate visual artist for years. I have had the pleasure of teaching MC ,as she likes to be called, for the last 7 years while working at Dehesa. Like her contemporaries, she draws inspiration from street artists like Banksey, Shepherd Fairey, and the late Keith Haring to name a few.

Most of her work is whimsical and illustrative but her sculptural pieces have grown increasingly striking over the last couple of years. From Photography to watercolor to illustration and shoe design, she has tested her mediums to see what she likes. As a result, she has become jack of all trades who enjoys screenprinting and planning community installations for art functions and fundraisers like the WOW festival at the La Jolla Playhouse and the annual student talent show at the Queen Bee in North Park.
Mc is a talented musician and works hard to dedicate time for weekly vocal and instrumental practice. Like her artwork she is humble and sincere with her approach to each new task. I hope you enjoy viewing the works I have selected for her online exhibit.
