Teaches at Painting & Vino

Desirée Soria-Wilson was born here in Tucson, AZ. She is a working, self-taught artist and first generation college student who enjoys spending her free time out in nature or with her 9-year-old Rottweiler rescue. Although she spent most of her childhood years in Tucson, her family moved to Phoenix while she was in elementary school. Since her mother and grandmother were both early educators, Desirée was encouragedfrom a young age to create and use her critical thinking. She participated in things like summer art programs at the U of A and Mad Science programs. With this upbringing, she naturally found her interests in sciences and the arts. While attending high school in Phoenix, Desirée participated in sports, and both performing and visual arts. To appease her curious mind, she elected to take courses such as human anatomy, ceramics, choir, and Spanish
