Visual Art – Dallas - Fort Worth

My name is Maya but I go by Yanna. I am an artist and model originally from New York and I grew up in New Orleans, so I've spent most of my life in some this worlds most creative places and entities. Im Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Haitian and yes that has so much to do with my Art. I've been drawing and painting my entire life. Its been the one thing that has always given me peace. The one thing that has always kept me sane. I moved to Dallas as a teenager and that was when I decided that I wanted to go to school for graphic design at the Art Institute of Dallas. I'm currently a student at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco studying Art History and I hope to receive my Ph.D in Art Therapy or Philosophy in Art Therapy.
