Karla García: UCCS Visiting Artists and Critics Series

Описание: Karla García is the 2025 Female Emerging Artists Residency Series (F.E.A.R.S.) artist. This residency series is an experimental program that invites artists early in their professional careers to UCCS to participate in a residency, solo-exhibition, and academic classes. F.E.A.R.S. is now a collaborative initiative between the UCCS Visual Arts Department (VAPA) and GOCA.

Karla García (1977, Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico) is a Texas-based artist originally from Mexico. Her ceramic sculptural installations are rooted in her Mexican heritage and informed by personal and cultural memory, historical research, and philosophy. She explores the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative effects of the environment on the land we share.

García earned an MFA in Ceramics and a Certificate in Museum Education from the University of North Texas. She is a Sandhills Institute Artist Fellow in Nebraska and has exhibited in museums such as the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Old Jail Art Center in Texas, and a bi-national exhibition at the Chamizal National Memorial and the Museum of Archeology and History of El Chamizal on both sides of the Texas/Mexico border. Her recent projects include Grass Flower, a ceramic installation at Lora Reynolds Gallery in Austin, TX, and a residency at the University of Colorado Springs.
