Creative Artworks for Every Space
"Taking in the light with wonder one brushstroke at a time"
About Imelda Hinojosa
Creative Process
Each piece I create tells a story. I feel inspiration from everyday life, animals, fantasy, whimsy, nature, and all the little gifts around us..
My Artistic Journey
I am a painter, illustrator and ArtOMat artist.
I am a member of the SCBWI:
Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
ArtOmats, are little art boxes
dispensed from vintage cigarette
vending machines across the USA.

Art Life
I have been a creator all my life. I was raised in a creative family with an Artist Father, a crafty mother, and brothers who were wood workers, a sculptor and multi talented "can fix anything" men.
I've participated in group and solo exhibits throughout Los Angeles including Las Laguna Art gallery, Barnsdall Library, Gallery 825,
Folk Tree Gallery and University Galleries.
I have created Mural artwork for private homes and
businesses such as "Happy Trails Catering" in Pasadena.
My illustrations have been used in Children's publishing
and can be seen online at SCBWI.org
Currently, I am intrigued with surface pattern design.
My studio space is a jumble of projects, pets underfoot, music,
podcasts, chocolate and a view of my garden .
