Hey my name is Maricela Gandara. I was born and raised in Oakland. I have been enjoying drawing ever since I was a child. When I first started drawing it was just for fun, as I got older I realized that I had created my own therapy. When I was younger I liked to draw graffiti because a lot of people only took graffiti as a negative thing and I wanted to prove to them that they were wrong. Growing up in Oakland is a blessing for me because I'm surrounded by the warm loving and talented people. This website will show all my drawings that I have made. This poster below I made this year in my digital design class.
