I’m Leticia Demeuse, a Brazilian-born artist dedicated to the art of abstract painting for over two decades. It’s been a journey of turning passion into a fulfilling career. My new studio in San Elijo Hills is where I continue to explore my creativity, welcoming visitors by appointment at 1512 San Elijo Rd, Suite 200, San Marcos, CA 92078.

My artwork resonates deeply with private collectors worldwide, supported by my representation at A Gallery in Palm Desert and Galeria Gravura in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Participating in the esteemed artist-in-residence program at Nobu Los Cabos highlights my global presence and influence. Additionally, my collaboration with The Oppenheim Group from the Netflix show “Selling Sunset” reflects my commitment to expanding artistic horizons and connecting with diverse audiences.
About Leticia Demeuse
Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.
I’ve been married to my husband Eddie for 18 years, and we have a wonderful 15-year-old son who brings so much joy into our lives. We recently added a new member to our family, a dog named Chip, who has quickly become everyone’s favorite. While my extended family is still in Brazil, I’m grateful to have created a beautiful family here in America. I make it a point to visit Brazil often to stay connected with my roots and loved ones.
Q: Please tell us about your current, past, or future career. What do you love most about what you do?
What I love most about my work is the freedom to create something from nothing and the meaningful connections I build with my clients along the way. It’s incredibly fulfilling to bring visions to life and to see how art can resonate and connect with others on a personal level.
Q: What advice would you give to people?
My advice would be to find something you love doing and pursue it as your career. Life is too short to spend it doing something that doesn’t bring you joy and fulfillment. When you’re passionate about what you do, work doesn’t feel like work—it becomes a source of inspiration and motivation every day.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years?
In 5 to 10 years, I envision myself owning a larger space, possibly even a gallery where I can showcase not only my own work but also that of other talented artists. I also see myself traveling more, as travel has always been one of my greatest sources of inspiration.
