Lights, camera, action The artist and YouTuber shows us around her studio she uses to create paintings and videos.

Jacquelin de Leon

I’ve had this studio for about two years. It acts not only as my workspace and inspiration, but as a filming area for my YouTube videos. It’s part of an old converted canning factory, which is located in the heart of San Jose, California.

This is just one corner of the 1,000 square foot studio, the rest of which is filled with a screen-printing area, and a packing and shipping station for online orders. I’ve moved studios several times in the past five years, and this is by far the most open and inspiring space that I’ve been blessed to work in.
