If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Biography[edit]
Gonzales is a native Californian living in Los Angeles.[3] She has been interested in art since she was a child with her first art piece being a chalk drawing on the floor when she was a year old.[1] Gonzales was primarily self-taught in art growing up, learning from YouTube videos and completing art classes in high school, which led to her joining UCLA’s Fine Arts Program and receiving her bachelor’s degree in fine arts (BFA) in 2020.[1] Her work can be found in the UCLA Department of Art 2020 Senior Exhibition Unfrayed.[4]
Art[edit]
After earning her BFA, she worked as an illustrator, painter, makeup artist, creative writer, and private art instructor.[1] She uses a range of mediums in her artwork such as Procreate, colored pencils, acrylic paint, etc.[5] Gonzales is influenced by folk art and children's illustrations to create recurring characters, such as alligators and wolves, which represent people in her life or abstract beings to help process her feelings.[1] She is active on social media where she goes by the name "Somewhere in June."
