Mayela Murillo-Finol | Production Manager and Lead Artist

I have lived in Madison for about 20 years. I have been working for the Madison district for close to a decade as a behavioral education assistant. As an art therapist, I understand the importance of communicating feelings and opinions in art. I hold a BA in Art Therapy from Edgewood.

I was born and grew up in Venezuela with exotic aromas and flavors, in a colorful landscape. My paintings are highly influenced by the traditions and customs of my birthplace. My cultural background inspires me to use bright colors. My hope is that these colors will also positively influence the audience. When it comes to my paintings, I am equally comfortable with abstract and realistic subjects. It is common for me to use bright colors, continuous lines, and horizontal orientation. I hope that this way of working allows my art in the community to express itself in a colorful and joyful way, generating a positive impact.
