Isa Rodriguez

My name is Isa Rodriguez.

I’m a Queer, Venezuelan American artist based in Oklahoma City. I make mixed media drawings and ceramic sculptures. I also run a community-based arts education project called Practice Practice.

In every media, my work presents creativity as a technology for liberation.
