Michelle Guerrero aka Mr B Baby’s work is a fusion of Mexican folk art and children’s books. Her artwork is a whimsical twist on universal themes, giving them a playful, colorful touch. She was raised in a predominantly Spanish-speaking home in Chula Vista with a single mother and her older sister. Her hardworking Puerto Rican mother taught her that the sky was the limit, and she hopes to portray the same message through her art.
Mr B Baby’s art is heavily influenced by her culture and her experiences in life. As someone who battled with depression and anxiety starting from a young age, she advocates for positive mental health and hopes to inspire other people to believe they can overcome adversities and pursue art. Her artwork has an alchemy, transforming emotions like sadness or anxiety into scenes of empowerment. Mr B Baby’s goal is to create art for everyone and in the process connect with people and spread happiness through her creations. She creates a wide range of characters who all tell their own unique story.
