Joella Guaraglia-Wheeler
I was born in San Francisco and eventually found my way to Houston about 4 years ago via Oregon and Santa Fe, NM. My mixed media and ‘relief’ paintings display a variety of insights across varying themes. I use layers of texture and I build my colors for vibrancy. Despite the theme of any of my work you will see something new each time you experience one.
