HOLA
My name is Willie,
I am a first generation Mexican-American illustrator based in Ridgewood, NY. Growing up in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, I was surrounded by a community of creatives and makers. I was inspired by the various murals I would see in Brooklyn as well as by the arts-focused community events in my neighborhood.
My artistic interests range from painting scenes from everyday life to painting intriguing cityscapes as well as plant life. Usually with a graphic feel and vibrant colors.
I work in mediums ranging from digital to traditional, such as gouache and watercolor. My work has appeared in galleries like C&K Art Gallery in Brooklyn.
When I'm not illustrating you can find me enjoying strolls through the city or visiting local museums and exhibits.
