Evelyn Barajas is a first-generation immigrant and self-taught artist, born and raised in Lynwood, California. Her love of art and creative ability began at a very young age. While Evelyn studied web design, she continued exploring and developing her artistic talents, which led her to work as a freelance artist, creative business owner, and elementary art teacher.
Evelyn loves creating colorful art inspired by her Mexican heritage, Oaxacan indigenous roots, and first-gen experiences. Most of her art is done digitally using Procreate. When she needs a break from the screen, she enjoys painting with gouache paint and exploring different mediums. She is passionate about making art that highlights her community, represents diversity, and inspires others.
She has partnered with organizations like Southern California College Access Network (SoCal CAN), donated her artwork to Girasoles en Marcha, and created commissions for small local businesses like CDT Cocina.
She currently lives in Fresno, California where she enjoys hot yoga practice, teaching the next generation of artists, and spending time with her family and friends.
Evelyn enjoys working with like minded clients. To work with her, please reach out.
