The walls of UNM senior Ramona Teo’s home are covered in paintings from ceiling to floor. After high school, she lived in Malaysia, where she honed skills for drawing intricate geometric patterns. Now she designs graphics for T-shirts, bags and pins at her father’s business, Guerrilla Graphix, a local art and print store. She has a one-eyed cat.
You create both paintings and cinematic pieces of art. Is there ever any overlap between the two?
Since I do film and paint, that’s an advantage to me. And I get to add a lot of visual elements to the films that I am making and do films related to paintings that I have done. As far as my painting goes, I do sacred geometry.
You said you had to move a little quicker with live painting. Any other challenges?
