About Majo's-Maria Jose.

Bio

Hello, my name is Maria Jose Cardenas, I am 20 years old and was born in Mexico. I am attending UNT majoring in Advertising and Brand Strategy, and Studio Arts, with a minor in Marketing. A little bit about myself is that I like pushing the limits and doing new things. I have worked in the art world since I was 14 years old in both the creative and corporate sides. When working on a new project or job I like to devise innovative and new ways to figure out problems. My design and artwork come from my inspiration of nature and historical artwork which can be seen all throughout my life's work. I am an experimental artist that likes to try new things and mediums
