After graduating from the Pasadena Art Center
College of Design in illustration, painter Castillon
began sweeping the art world as a highly talented fine
artist. Castillon has been featured in four major shows at
Fallbrook Fine Art in the Arts District of the village of
Fallbrook California. She has shown her work in the OPA at
Lee Youngman's Gallery in Calsitoga and her painting
"Planting of the First Pepper Tree" was chosen as the cover
image in 2006. Castillon was also highlighted as a rising
star in Art Talk's May 2007 issue where she was noted for
her heartfelt compositions. A confident landscape painter,
Castillon was commissioned to complete 17 large landscapes
of San Diego landmarks for a professional complex in
Carlsbad. Her most recent portrait was of C.S. Lewis
commissioned by a relative.
Castillon is a versatile
young artist and is accomplished at landscapes and
figurative work. To refine her technique she has taken
workshops with Morgan Weistling, Matt Smith, and Skip
Whitcomb.
Currently she is doing research for a body of work that
depicts the varied history of California: Native Americans,
Spanish explorers, and settlers and pioneers from the
Eastern states. Historic settings include California's
famous missions and land grant ranches.
