Christina Maria Cervantes
Christina Maria Cervantes was born in the year 1995, in California. At a young age Christina showed an interest and natural talent in drawing and painting. But she didn't find her true passion until she was 14 years old.
In the summer of 2009 she was accepted into a summer intensive program, at her school, for photography. She was the youngest student in that class and had never used a professional camera, taken a photo class, or even taken photographs of people. After a few days in the class Christina discovered that she had a talent and passion for taking pictures. In her freshmen year, with the help of her instructor, she switched into photo 1-2 and was the youngest student in her class. That year she discovered that she loved doing portraiture. She has gone through photo 3-4 and is now in ROP and mix media. She hopes to someday be a photographer and have her work in a magazine or a museum.*
*One of Christina's photographs from her Fighting Caner series was featured in the San Diego Art Museum's show Young Arts 2013.
