Ana Martinez Orizondo
Ana Martinez Orizondo studio is located at Shelter Island, NY.
“Ana is fascinated by trees, animism and mystical states of in-betweenness. Her tree stories series explores themes of ecology, spirituality and transformation. Specifically, she sees trunks as bodies, and bark as cosmic memory. She is fascinated by liminal states, development in time, portals to otherness, and amorphous forms. Whether acrylic on canvas or soft pastels on cotton rag paper, Ana dwells in the push and pull of the creative process and its alchemical power.
It is her hope that, through her art, she brings awareness to the climate crisis and awaken a sense of intimacy with our living planet. Her artwork calls the viewer to see trees and all non-human forms as beings, as sacred and necessary for the health of our planet and spirit.”
