MEET THE ARTIST
I'm Mercedes (she/they), an artist living in Seattle, WA. My intuitive visual art practice includes abstract painting, collage, mixed media, photography, and more. I find joy in creating in any capacity and am nourished by color, texture, and the world around me. Relying on my intuition, I create freely, often trying new things until something 'clicks.' Through my passions, I connect with others and find fulfillment in my impact. In addition to visual art, I enjoy singing, volunteering, working as an accountant, spending quality time with my husband and son, and managing a mini zoo of two cats and a playful rescue pup.
Artist Message
As a firm believer that creativity is innate and vital to the human experience, I am passionate about breaking down barriers for self-expression and recognizing the value of the diverse abilities and perspectives of others. I believe everyone has a creative purpose, important perspective, and valuable imagination. I offer the reassurance that no one really knows what they are doing, and my intuitive practice reflects this carefree nature. Above all, I hope my work inspires your self-expression, creativity, and sense of belonging.
