Teresa Arredondo's story is neither glamorous or sparkling. She wasn’t born to rich parents and does not have famous relatives. Her father was assassinated when she was 5 years old, and she only finished elementary school.
The work was a plane with blue-glowing leading edges resembling a spaceship, painted by AirCraft Paint, Inc., of Santa Maria, the company owned by Arredondo. That was just the continuation of a life of hardship. Arredondo recollected any fruit or vegetable produced in the Central Coast, earning at the most $19,000 per year. During her first year as a business owner, she said she made over $300,000.In 1989 Arredondo started working on aircraft upholstery, but she had to work as her husband’s apprentice. She did not get the job herself because she was female.
“I felt lost. But at age 7 I learned a well-cemented work ethic and dedication. Earning my daily bread decently is my most powerful tool that I used to be able to organize myself, raise my children and focus on having a prestigious company,” she said. And in 2005 she began to attend shows and events with the confidence in the work and knowledge that she had acquired.
The business paints between 15 and 20 planes per month and over 100 per year, according to Arredondo, who said 80% of the planes come from outside the U.S., especially the Middle East, Argentina, Guatemala, Portugal, Russia, Italy, Mexico, Canada, as well as many states in the U.S.
