My name is Vania. I was born and raised in México, surrounded by colorful textures, delicious food and vibrant people. As a visual artist living in Portland, Oregon, my interest is to create art that celebrates culture, individuality and diversity. My art is a reflection of what I think life should be: Fun, spirited and playful. I strive to create refreshing artwork that gives a nod to childlike curiosity and possibility. One of the things I enjoy the most about facilitating engaging workshops, is to help people express ideas in new ways, to be more present and jumpstart their creativity. Making art and connecting with people is my life’s purpose. I am committed to making the creative process fun and creating experiences that spark joy! I am convinced we continue to evolve by remaining curious and inventive. If you see me on the street, give me a high five! I might be petting dogs or eating gelato. Can’t wait to make awesome happen!
