Through the study of acrylic-on-canvas painting, Abrego cultivates a deeper understanding of the underwater world through her practice, pulling inspiration directly from her experiences as a scuba diver and student of marine science. Focusing on facilitating scientific communication through creative expression, Abrego's work offers an opportunity to reflect on humanity's relationship to the Ocean, the future of Planet Earth, and what can be done to deepen the collective connection to the natural world.  

 

Her work has been exhibited throughout the U.S., including Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, New York, and Hawai'i.

 

She is a student at University of Hawai'i at Manoa, working towards her B.S. in Marine Biology with a minor in Astrophysics. She currently lives, works and studies in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
