Visual Art – San Diego
Krissy Fernandez was born in Baguio City, Philippines where she was raised until the age of six, when her family moved to Guam. She spent most of her days doodling, daydreaming, and chasing cats. Although she lived in a tranquil, sandy paradise, she was always in search of personal enrichment through independency and blind exploration. As the urge to venture the world grew stronger upon completing high school, she booked a flight to San Diego without hesitation (or money in the bank afterwards) to see where life would take her.
Most of her fine art pieces can be viewed as self-portraits as it is personal stories and life-lessons that are reflected on, therefore producing an intimate documentation of her life. Nostalgia, whether comforting or tormenting, and current engagements, which thrive on the subtle humor and ironies of life, are all called upon as inspirations for her paintings.
Krissy, a self-taught artist, is disciplined in multiple areas of visual arts, including but not limited to: fine art, graphic design, and photography (fashion & portraiture). She still resides in sunny San Diego, where she continually practices these art forms. Currently, she is a fashion photographer for MahalStyle.com and FashionGun.com and showcases her paintings all over Southern California. She plans to someday relocate to Europe where there are infinitely more cats to chase.
