Gamboa

GAMBOA grew up in the states of Durango and Chihuahua, Mexico, where her talents became evident when she was very young. Her earliest childhood memories are of painting, "My mother says I was born with a paintbrush in my hand," GAMBOA fondly recalls. Her grandmother, Mexican artist Consuelo Ferrera Gamboa, was her namesake and mentor.

After completing her formal education in Mexico, GAMBOA moved to Canterbury, England. In Canterbury she studied watercolor and portrait techniques that have become part of her trademark. Two years later GAMBOA moved to Paris where she attended the Ecole du Lourve for three years studying Art History.

GAMBOA settled in the United States in 1978, making Southern California her home. In l981 she married and now has two daughters who follow her talents in art and music. It was also in 1981 that GAMBOA began publishing her art. In 1987 she formed GAMBOA Publishing and her visibility escalated.

GAMBOA'S formal training and natural skills communicate her ability to understand the true feeling of any subject shepaints. With this natural ability GAMBOA'S art has been accepted throughout the world.
