G.M.Reyes was born in California. Her first experience in art-making was through painting graffiti in the Central Valley and Northern California in the mid 90's. She received her BFA from San Jose State University in Pictorial Arts and is currently pursuing her MFA in Painting at Syracuse University in Upstate New York. Her work varies from intimate care free drawings and paintings to large room installations. Many of the works reference decay, abandoned spaces, popular culture, femininity and the ephemeral.
