MEET MIJA
I am a mixed media artist and have explored many mediums since childhood including drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, jewelry making, fiber arts, bookmaking, sculpture, altered art and assemblage. I thoroughly enjoy the creative problem solving that takes place in reuse art making and love the playfulness of mixing mediums.
My creative career includes participating in exhibitions, curating exhibitions, teaching workshops and classes, coordinating community art events, collaborative public art projects, cultural tours in Mexico, hosting studio sales and directing non-profit arts organizations. For a more in-depth look at my art career, you can view my artist resume.
Much of life is creative inspiration for me although I’m most ignited by Mexican culture, visions and dreams, spirituality, materials and the creative process of others. Nurturing connection through art making, especially in community, is one of my greatest passions. I believe art has the power to heal us, unite us and enlighten us.
