Welcome, Jess & Arsenio!

Welcome to our 2 new mentors, Jess and Arsenio, we are so lucky to have them in the studio! Natalia introduced them to us, so it is appropriate that the introduction be written by her.

Certified in scientific illustration from CSUMB, Jess Soriano is a fine artist who renders her appreciation for science, botany, and environmentalism through printmaking, digital drawing, murals and more. Through her creative expression of the inner and outer world, Jess Soriano hopes to "inspire others to explore their natural surroundings, see love in all living things, and open their minds to the beauty in unity." https://www.soriano.studio

Originally from Concord, Arsenio Baca has colored Monterey with his multifaceted skill set since his arrival. Specializing in acrylic painting, Baca also demonstrates agility in tattooing, woodburning, and muralism. Arsenio is also a co-founder of La Neta Murals (along with our other mentor Natalia), which has taken his love of community and art to the next level. https://www.abacaart.com/
