rosa is a chicago-based mixed media artist, farmer, and color enthusiast who comes from a long lineage of landworkers. she works in both her art and advocacy toward a world that honors the labor and strengthens sovereignty in our food system. A printmaker by training, she has recently immersed herself in ceramics and weaving while still keeping her knitting needles, watercolors, and blockprinting tools close.
rosa’s hands are her ultimate gift, and they are at their best when in soil, transforming clay, or in between the strings of her loom. she dreams of spending her days working on a farm producing fiber from plants, welcoming migrating monarchs into her milkweed garden, and growing grapes for natural wine.
her flower allies are toloache and cempazuchtl. her favorite colors are ochre, taupe, goldenrod, and moss.
