Leticia Herrera works and lives in McKinney, TX. She was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design which she obtained from Louisiana State University. After her graduation, she worked for many years as a Creative Director then quit to work full-time as a professional artist. Her taking up art as a full time career was also driven by the death of her closest friend. She wanted solace and found it through art that gave her a renewed sense of inspiration and joy. She’s a restless artist who always wants to keep her fingers busy. Leticia builds her abstractions which are rich in pigments with the sensibility of a poet, infusing vulnerability and sensitivity into her bold fields of texture and color. Her energetic and fluid brushstrokes, which she does passionately, give her art a structural backbone to the physically powerful horizontal motion of her compositions.
Leticia has a wide experience in the field of art and is able to produce art that satisfies the needs of her clients. Her art can be used to decorate any space and they are highly priced by many collectors. The artist references landscape-like or figurative forms in her works once in awhile. Her art has found its way into many art exhibitions and shows. This makes her art to defy simplistic categorization and labels, and instead creates a personal visual dialog and style through the combination of acrylic paints, oils, and mixed media on canvas and linen.
