During the day, Andrew Peña is a background painter and visual development artist for companies such as Netflix and Adult Swim. When he has free time, he enjoys spending it doing gouache plein air (and #pleininterior) paintings in the cafes and landscapes of Pasadena and Azusa, California. The fun part? His journey didn’t fully start until FOUR years ago!
