Veronica Purpura

    From her earliest years growing up in Southern California, Veronica knew she was an artist. She earned a BFA (Bachelors in Fine Arts) from California State University in Fullerton and has continued learning energetically. Primarily an oil painter, Veronica has recently taken up sculpture.

​

    Veronica’s wide-ranging interests shape her art. An enthusiastic fan of Japanese Anime, she has also studied fantasy and mythology. These influences are evident in imaginative paintings and sculptures rendered in a near-photo-realistic style. A certified gemologist, Veronica is inspired by the magnificent colors and shapes of gems and minerals, particularly opals. Her fantasy characters are always adorned with magnificent jewelry.

​

    Passionate about animals, Veronica frequents the San Diego Zoo to practice sketching, take reference photos for her animal paintings, and satisfy her need for cuteness. Recently her art has focused on portraits of humans and animals – in any combination!

​

  •  Eugenia “Genie” Love Memorial Arts Scholarship

  •  First Place for one of her earliest sculptures – 2016 Orange County Fair
