Name: Breanna Contreras
How we met: We went to the same high school.
Age: 21 years old
Hometown: San Jose, California
Education: Psychology Major
Job title: Artist
Passion: Making stuff!
How she got started: I’ve always loved making art. In regards to how I got to the point where I started to profit from my art, I’m not exactly sure when that started. I do however remember drawing pictures for classmates in exchange for cookies in high school! The more I posted my art online, the more people began to notice. I recall the first thing I sold was a couple of 6 x 4 prints to some old high school pals and my aunt in Nevada. I guess that sort of opened the door for me and sparked enough excitement to want to keep growing.
