Rixy
Rixy is a Latinx Interdisciplinary Street Artist, Educator, & Storyteller, building a world focused on the forms of feminine divinity in various cultures. She reinterprets narratives of agency and identity – like episodes of a never-ending cartoon. Redefining "sensuality" as a relationship to our external and internal perceptions, the stylized works play in vibrant mediums, to create these energetic palettes across surfaces. Predominately focused in Murals, Paintings and Installations. This practice not only reflects the layers of those painted, but also, the complexities of expressing internal dialogues.
Rixy graduated from UMass Boston in 2019 with a concentration in Conceptual Sculpture, as a spatial and material awareness. She received the 2019 Ruth Butler Travel Fellowship for a Studio Residency in Mexico, and the 2017 Arts|Learning Award for Student Arts Advocacy. Her passion to expand her practice, personifies her drive to educate and provide access to the Arts. This has allowed her to evolve into a Teacher and Director; holding positions as an Adjunct Instructor at the Boston Architectural College, & the Public Art Coordinator of Central Sq’s BID's "Speak Your Piece" Campaign; exhibiting on street-wide to institutional walls.
