Joanna Beray Ingco
Born in San Francisco
Lives and works in Los Angeles, California
Algebra tutor, library computer tech, and a fascination with the Periodic table. All results of a solid education in math and science. But it is my love for film, music, and art which lead to my involvement at a well-respected talent agency and the Creative Department of Interscope Records. I assisted with submissions, auditions, and voice-over copy. I witnessed the inner-workings of the record industry and observed the collision of music and art through album cover imagery, fashion photo shoots, and photographer portfolios.
I continue to work on music festivals and movies sets in Production and Art Department. I also accommodate requests for personal, customized pieces.
Projects that are not for a commercial purpose carry a different weight. The distinct perspective my circumstances provide allow me the opportunity to share my experience of growing up dealing with disability, cultural difference, and economic struggle. Please explore the SHOWS and PROJECTS sections for details. If all else fails, just ask me.
I am always in the process of exploring my practice; its look, feel, and context. My interest in biology and mechanics still exist, sprinkled throughout various aspects of my work.
