FEATURED ARTISTS

Ana Lara
Fine Arts, 2026

I base my work on my observant nature, so everyday life, architecture, and Edward Hopper are my main inspirations. Architecture has been my focus for the past six months. Recently, I have explored my identity by interweaving my Mexican culture and European ancestry with my passion for architecture to draw attention to the effects of colonialism in contemporary culture. I have also developed a universe for the past five years and have begun to create visual art to bring this universe to life.

I'm a proud Chicano artist! I'm a creative who takes inspiration from my personal experiences as a trans, queer individual, as well as my culture. I create work that ranges from whimsical to bold, and never limit myself to a specific medium! I'm an animation major, illustration minor, needle felter, amongst other things!
