Descripción del Artista

Drawing from her experience as a Colombian-American, Lina Puerta’s art examines the relationship between nature and the human-made and engages with themes of food justice, xenophobia, hyper-consumerism, and ancestral knowledge. She creates mixed-media sculptures, installations, collages, handmade-paper paintings, and wall hangings by combining a wide range of materials, from artificial plants and paper pulp to found, personal and recycled objects. Puerta was born in NJ, raised in Colombia, and lives and works in New York City. She holds an MS in art education from CUNY and has exhibited internationally. She has been honored with numerous awards including the 2019/2020 Artist-in-Residence at the Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art and Storytelling in Harlem, 2017-NYFA Fellowship in Crafts/Sculpture, Fall 2017 Artist-in-Residency at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, the 2016 Dieu Donné Workspace Residency, Artprize-8 Sustainability Award, 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant, 2015 Kohler Arts Industry Residency (WI), 2013-14 Smack Mellon Art Studio Program among others. Exhibition venues include the Barns Art Center, The Sugarhill Children’s Museum of Art and Storytelling, the Ford Foundation Gallery, The Museum of Biblical Art, El Museo del Barrio, Socrates Sculpture Park, Wave Hill, and Geary Contemporary in New York City; 21C Museum Hotels in Louisville, KY and Bentonville, AR; and Pi Artworks in London. Puerta's work has been written about in Hyperallergic, The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, and Artnet News among others.
