Fiorella Soto Van Patten Stribling

Fiorella was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. At two years of age, her family moved to Houston, Texas. Returning to Costa Rica at the age of 10, she began to draw inspiration from Costa Rica’s rich history of folk lore and traditions. Having lived between the capitol city and the beautiful beaches of Guanacaste for many years, she continued her love for making art. Paintings, murals and sketches have always been an important creative outlet in her life.

In 2019, Fiorella moved to Charleston, South Carolina to start life with her husband. They live there with their two beautiful sons, spending as much time back in Costa Rica as they can.
