The Artist

Born and raised in the San Franciso Bay area, Ingrid knew from the age of 12 that she wanted to be a dentist. Her overwhelmingIngrid Wright painting on location desire to "work with people and help them" kept her focused on the path to that career. Along the way to dentistry school she earned a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from San Francisco State University, taught in their graduate program, traveled throughout Europe, even working as a translator for a large manufacturing firm in Germany. Ingrid has also been a fashion model, TV commercial spokesperson, martial arts instructor and self-defense demonstrator.

Upon graduation from the University of the Pacfic Dental School in San Franciso, Dr. Ingrid Wright built a highly-successful dental practice in Central California. Working with a team of 9 staff members, she cared for patients ranging in age from 3 months to 93 years. "It was very rewarding to build a dental practice from the ground up. It was also extremely gratifying to help so many people overcome their anxiety regarding dental care."

After 13 years of dental practice, Ingrid felt a "higher calling" to be a full-time wife and 'mommy'. Now, with her children in their teens and her husband having a successful career as an orthodontist, she now has the time to get excited about creating her art. In addition, Ingrid has resumed her acting and modeling career. She recently appeared in the Alicia Keys music video, Superwoman. Perhaps you'll be seeing her in the movies and on television in the very near future.

"I love to watch people's expressions when they are enjoying my artwork". Quick to point out that she has no formal art degrees, Ingrid was drawn to creating her beautiful pieces of artwork after taking some private art lessons. She feels passionate about further developing her artistic abilities. (FOR MORE INFORMATION READ "ABOUT"MY ARTWORK" )
