Born and raised in Southern California, Ingrid Padilla has always been passionate about art. Using interesting and vibrant color palettes, she creates remarkable abstract ink drawings, powerful paintings, and creative mosaics that are infused with her creative spirit. The colors she chooses support and contrast with each other to make the artwork come alive. Padilla often uses mixed media on a single piece to create unique and experimental effects and her work is often characterized by this whimsical originality. “The unexpected,” explains Padilla, “is what I hope to achieve in my art.”
