ABOUT YomiRA

YERRR!!! I am a New York City-based artist deeply rooted in the vibrant streets of Inwood and Washington Heights. Growing up I always felt inspired by my neighborhood, the colors, the people, y hasta la comida. All of these difference aspects of me come together in my art.

By day, I'm a teacher, guiding elementary students on their educational journey. But beyond the classroom, my heart lies in the world of art. Currently, I'm pursuing my master's degree in Art Education at the School of Visual Arts, fueled by a passion for nurturing creativity and self-expression in young minds.

My artistic journey is a reflection of my diverse experiences and deep connection to my community. Whether it's through vibrant paintings and intricate drawings, I strive to capture the spirit and energy of the world around me.
