Elba Raquel

With an AS in Design, a BFA in Illustration, and an MA in Education, Elba Raquel (she/her), works as a High School Art Teacher and a freelance artist, exhibiting throughout the Bay Area as a solo artist and live painting at various events and festivals with her crew Together We Create. Having completed five murals in San José, she is expanding her practice to new heights. Her freelance work is recognized by desaturated figures juxtaposed against bright backgrounds and rhythmic compositions which she describes as “fantastic realism.”
