About Ana Maria Herrera

I am a multidisciplinary visual artist based in the San Diego-Tijuana border region. My work explores themes of identity, displacement, and cultural coexistence, often through mixed-media assemblages. By incorporating materials like aged wood, metal, fibers, and photography, I create pieces that reflect on migration, power dynamics, and the border experience, emphasizing the tension between visibility and obscurity.

Through my art, I aim to evoke empathy and foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of our shared human experience. I create works that challenge perspectives, celebrate diversity, and inspire dialogue. In addition to my artistic practice, I offer workshops that encourage individuals to explore their creativity and express themselves freely.

My goal is to create meaningful art that resonates with viewers and invites them to reflect on the interconnectedness of culture, identity, and the human condition.
