Visual Art – Las Vegas

Salutations! I am Catherine Calixto, a.k.a. Rina Cali, a creative, eccentric, musically-&-visually-inclined young woman who is trying to find her place in the world. Though I was born in the island nation of the Philippines, I primarily grew up in the deserts of Arizona and Nevada. I studied fine arts at a local magnet high school – the Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Performing, and Visual Arts – as part of their visual design program. After high school, I attended and graduated from Dominican University – a private liberal arts school in the Chicago suburb of River Forest, Illinois – with a major in Biology-Chemistry and minors in Mathematics and Business Administration. Through my work on campus, I broadened my endeavors in design by creating layouts, logos, publicity, and other promotional products for various extracurricular groups and events. Since then, I have continued refining my skills professionally and recreationally in drawing, painting, fashion design, sound design, songwriting, graphic design, and photography.
