Isis Mendoza

Isis Victoria Mendoza was born in Philadelphia but was raised in the Dominican Republic. From a young age, Isis was interested in the arts, always drawing and writing short stories in her free time. When she moved back to the States after graduating high school at seventeen, she looked into the art field and was interested in graphic design. She recently fell in love with watercolors and motion graphics, wanting to incorporate these media into her digital works. Currently, she is studying to obtain her Bachelor's in Fine Arts in Graphic Design at the State University of New York in Oswego. After graduation, she wishes to get a job in her industry and will continue her studies after a few years.

Experimenting with different types of media is something that I love to do. To explore and learn a new craft, going through the ups and downs, really makes my work more interesting. I have always had an affinity for the arts, and took some classes at an early age. When I graduated, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life; I had moved back to the United States and was unsure what to do. I originally wanted to pursue a career in biology, thinking I could involve art some way later on. When discussing my plans with my family, my mother encouraged me to go for a career in art. After researching some of the different fields and branches in art, I chose to go with Graphic Design. The encouragement from my family is something I feel grateful for every single day, and such, my family is one of the primary sources of inspiration in my work.
