ARTISANS
the premier art gallery in the San Bernardino mountains of Southern California
Desiree Salazar
My passion for painting started since I was 6 years old. My dad liked to draw as a hobby and I was always by his side watching and learning. When I was 14 years old I began taking painting classes at the well known House of Culture and Art School in Leone, Mexico. I studied 10 levels and graduated 3 years later.
I have painted for many years as a hobby. While working in Argentina, I met Martin Olmedo ( a famous artist in La Rioja, Argentina), a professional artist. I was honored to take private lessons from him for 6 months. We painted oil with a spatula from morning til evening.
I came back to Mexico and did a couple of exhibits at the House of Culture and Art School. My artwork was well received.
Currently I am painting portraits and landscapes for customers in oil and acrylics.
