Our Team
IREEN BROCK
FOUNDER + GENERAL MANAGER
SAN CLEMENTE | CALIFORNIA + GERMANY
Hailing from a lineage of artisans and craftspeople, Ireen has been a lifelong doer, maker, and builder. Her eclectic journey spans the creative and the highly disciplined—evolving through roles as an artist, designer, attorney, operations strategist, sneaker expert, gallery director, and even a former state trooper, too.
It is at the intersection of these distinct paths that Painterly was born. Originally coming to life within the walls of Ireen’s first gallery in Laguna Beach. The brand was built on Ireen’s deep expertise as an artist, art law (thanks to her legal days), and her work as a trusted business consultant to galleries, artists, and creative enterprises. Seeing a systemic need for smarter creative business models, Ireen leveraged her legal and operational acumen to help art world businesses scale, protect their intellectual property, and thrive.
Today, Painterly stands as the ultimate synthesis of that mission, serving artists, the art-curious, and luxury hospitality brands in more impactful ways than ever imagined. While Ireen orchestrates the company's global vision, you will still occasionally find her wearing her absolute favorite hat: stepping into the studio as a hands-on art instructor.
ROBIN BURGIN
ART + BUSINESS DIRECTOR
LA JOLLA | CALIFORNIA
Painting from a place of pure emotion, abstract expressionist Robin Burgin aims to learn from each stroke on the canvas. For Burgin, painting is her visual vocabulary, where diction is articulated through a rhythm and fluidity of vibrant bold markings representing her lived human experience and the evolution of felt sense. Burgin received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cal State Fullerton + her Guided Drawing Practitioner Certification from the Institute for Sensorimotor Art Therapy.
WHY WE LOVE ROBIN | After jettisoning corporate life, Burgin transformed into the Creative Director she always envisioned through her Somatic Experiencing Art Practice, where she supports healing + self-discovery through somatic creative workshops.
ART + BUSINESS DIRECTOR
YENIFER OCHOA
LOUISVILLE | KENTUCKY
Art has always been a passion of Yenifer—with its rich history and profound impact on the brain and everyday life. With a background in communications and over a decade in advertising, sales, and marketing, Yenifer transitioned from the corporate world to merge her leadership and marketing expertise with her love for art. Now, Yenifer is dedicated to growing the Painterly team with her digital marketing background and passion for creation.
Yenifer's artistic journey has been a blend of formal training and self-teaching; she continues to develop her creative practice, focusing on a love for abstract art through its ability to inspire creativity, evoke deep emotions, and challenge our perception of reality. Like Piet Mondrian, Yenifer finds inspiration not only in trees but also in flowers and all aspects of nature—their beauty and complexity reflect much of what art represents.
Yenifer is motivated by building meaningful connections, supporting artists, and bringing creative experiences to a wider audience in Kentucky and beyond.
