IT ALL STARTED

AT THE GARAGE (yes…really!)

Genoveva Fuentes Cuellar is the founder of El Taller Fuentes. She is a graphic designer, illustrator, and production specialist. In 2015, she graduated with a BA in Criminal Justice with a minor in Graphic Design and in 2016 with a Master of Defense and Strategic Studies from The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP).

Due to the love of design and illustration, Genoveva decided to pursue this career path! It took her a couple of years and a couple of tries to find her distinct art style, using vibrant mixture of bright colors and influence of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) imagery. Now her art style had attracted clients around El Paso and the United States.
