Asenath Lizárraga Multidisciplinary Art
Asenath Lizárraga is a non-binary, mixed Peruvian and Finnish multidisciplinary artist currently living in Olympia, Washington. Their colorful, emotional works draw from personal experience, dream worlds, and family history, expressed as drawings, paintings, prints, fiber arts, and music. Their drawings and paintings particularly explore their inner emotional world, working through grief to finding peace amongst the chaos of life. Their work includes lots of symbolism which tells the story if you pay attention to the details. Asenath is also a compassionate and experienced teacher who believes in the transformative power of community art-making, and who aspires to one day help create a community arts space where anyone can access resources and a space free of charge.
