Our bodies are our oldest home, a place where we can go and never be questioned.

Whitney Castro’s minimalist portraits hope to capture this warm place of safety and strength, through simple shapes and colors.

While still celebrating our diverse idiosyncrasies, Whitney’s reminisces on the beauty we – as women and men – find in the unifying shape of the feminine form.

California-based painter, Whitney Castro lives in sunny Santa Barbara with her long-time partner Ian, and their parrot and rabbit—Shandi and Chloe—in their personal oasis. She is an avid swimmer in both salt and fresh water.
