Angelica Raquel

Born and raised in the border city of Laredo, Texas, Angelica draws much of her inspiration from her upbringing and the culture she grew up in. Using narratives rooted in folklore, familial storytelling, and her personal experiences, Angelica investigates ideas of morality and the soul. Her use of animal imagery has a dual purpose of representing a personal loved one, herself, and the animal. Based in San Antonio, Texas, Angelica works as an Educator and Artist. Her love of nature and animals constantly influences her multidisciplinary studio practice, which consists of fibers, sculpture, painting, and drawing. She earned a Masters in Fine Arts from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 2020 and a Bachelors in Fine Arts from Texas State University in 2016.
