Rowena Murillo was born and raised in New York City and studied studio art at the famed LaGuardia High School of the Arts. After getting a bachelors degree in English and Creative writing, she got a Masters of Science in Teaching and wrote her masters thesis on Integrating the Arts into Education.
Since then she’s been a high school teacher, a waitress and bartender, a social media marketer, a creativity blogger, a homeschooler, a ghostwriter and an art teacher. She has taught workshops on creativity, writing, art, personal empowerment and the combination of any or all of those.
She now lives with her two teenagers in rural Florida with a dream library, a studio, a gracious gifting from the global cat distribution system and plants everywhere.
She paints daily, currently exploring abstraction, expressionism and color through internal and external landscapes and themes of transformation, the journey of life, and gifts to and from the universe. Her work draws on intuition and history, memory and spirituality. Her original art and prints can be found at Rainbow Springs Art Gallery in Dunnellon, Florida and the Brick Gallery in Ocala, Florida and in private collections around the world.
Rowena writes novels of science fiction, fantasy and romance that sometimes combine all three as they explore the magic of the universe in the ways that we are all connected, the shadows we exist in, and the hope of happiness. Her upcoming book Space Witch is coming out at the end of 2024.
