Elizabeth Peralta (she/ they) is a queer LatinX artist and designer. She was born and raised in NYC to Caribbean parents. She often draws inspiration from her Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage. They found a love for the arts painting with their grandmother to Bob Ross. She started her artistic education at the High School of Fashion Industries.
From 2012 to 2017 she continued her studies in design at Parsons School of Design. Earning her BFA in Design and Technology, there they found the magic of 3D modeling and tech. From there she went on to learn ceramics and feel in love with the craft.
They use various artistic mediums to tell stories often inspired by queer love and identity. She uses art to express and make visible, the invisible.
