Maria Reyna is a woman who unabashedly pursues her passions in creating fascinating, beautiful and sometimes controversial works of art.
Current activities include: Painting, mix-media, digital imaging. Jewelry design. Contributing writer in LatinoLA.com

Born in Ciudad Obregon Sonora, Mexico. Came to the United States at the age of four. Grew up  in the deserts of Arizona until the age of twenty one. Moved to San Pedro, CA. in 1983 and lived there for fifteen years. Now living in the City of Santa Ana, CA.

Ms. Reyna began her artist career as an Illustrator/ Graphic Designer for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News paper. From there went on  as Staff Photographer for Random Lengths Harbor Independent News in San Pedro.

Best known for her in depth photo essays on the streets of Down Town L.A. she spent five years ..walking..photographing..documenting the lives of many people in some of the poorest neighborhoods of this great nation.
As an artist to live in L.A. is stimulating. So much to see..So much to do...So many stories to tell.
It's exhilarating and draining at the same time. It's beautiful and ugly. You love it and you hate it.
You really have to live in L.A. to experience it...

She has received scholarships from Soroptimist International Of The Americas and a Minority Scholarship from art Center of Design in Pasadena, CA.

I am thrilled, honored and grateful for this opportunity to exhibit my Art work.
