I am an artist. I am a painter. I am a woman. I am a storyteller. I am a dreamer. I am a doer. I am a lover. 
— MJ Lindo-Lawyer

I am a self-taught, self-motivated, self-inspired creator of whimsical alternative universes and artistic architect of beautifully dark, fantastical worlds. I am a lover of rich skin tones, creamy pastels, and an inoperable sense of whimsy.

I am a human being with a lust for life and a vibrant mind that is endlessly searching for truth and release by touching oil paint to wooden canvas.

Since 2003, I have been telling visual stories of my life, the experiences of other women, and the daily existence of multi-cultural women in this world.  Alongside furry friends and innocent animal energies that we share this world with, these paintings evoke emotion, imagination, and celebration – while always challenging the viewer to explore deeper.  

Living in the Bay Area with my husband, a kitten named Garbage, and a 160-lb.Neapolitan Mastiff named Mellow, I spend my moments blissfully soaking in the wonders of this world while creating art inspired by it.
