Bio

Gabriel Cardenas - visual artist, painter, and muralist from Fillmore, CA. Been painting all my life. Studied Sociology at Ventura College. Received my B.A. in Sociology, Art, and Education from UCSB 2015. I have taught numerous youth the skills and knowledge to create visual imagery. Personally, I use art to convey a message and represent an idea - to engage dialogue and create change for social justice. I have had the privilege and honor to teach students from k-12 systems, to higher education, and within the community. A number of these murals can be found in the Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Isla Vista communities, as well as Santa Paula, and Saticoy.
