Biography

Picture
Juan-Manuel Alonso

 
Born in Cuba, Juan-Manuel grew up and spent a large portion of his life in New York City. Following graduation from CCNY and The Fashion Institute of Technology and while working as a designer in the fashion industry he taught design at F.I.T. New York, Miami Dade College, Fine Arts College, Design and Architecture, Florida, and F.I.D.M, San Francisco.
 
His extensive travels throughout Europe, the Middle East, India, and Asia have had a major influence on his artistic sensibilities. After driving across country from Miami, he settled in Palm Springs where he currently lives with Nynja, his exotic Xoloitzcuintli.

​Continuing his art, he is Artist in Residence for the Unified School District of Palm Springs, teaches acrylic painting at the Mizell Senior Center, mentors students at Palm Springs High School, and volunteers for Desert AIDS Project. He is also the Founder of "Art on the Streets" . 


The purpose of "Art on the Streets" is to bind together our expansive artist community throughout the Coachella Valley, to bring public awareness of our already existing creative force and to use the large active artist community to play a mayor role in bringing cultural tourism to the Coachella Valley.
