Hi! Ana here.
I’m a Mexican-American interdisciplinary artist & business owner. A Mexican-American artist part of generation ZERO to be exact.
My full name is Ana Cecilia Guerra Barba, and I’ve gone through many nicknames in my lifetime, one of them being -Yellow Rose.
I love pushing myself to experiment with different mediums, subjects and even product designs. My work evolves continuously. As I go from medium to medium to maintain myself learning new things, I continue to fall in love with new artistic endeavors, but I especially love working with clay to make miniatures, with metal and precious stones to make jewelry, and creating playful stationery products. I scrapbook a lot during my free time and allow myself to get inspired by Manga & videogames out there as well.
