Jay Carreon

I grew up in the Philippines. As a child I marinated in the exotic stew of its tropical climate . . . I soaked in the sheer (and often bizarre) beauty of its flora and fauna. I kept pets, from the mundane dog & fish-in-aquarium to the more exotic such as a rhinoceros beetle and a water scorpion.

At the moment - I live & create in Los Angeles, California.

While taking the odd photography class then and again at local colleges, I am mostly self-taught in the Arts.

I graduated cum laude with an A.A. in Liberal Arts (Minor in Literature) from Santa Monica College.
