About
Sierra Labra
Born in Miami, FL
Lives & works in Gainesville, FL
A 4th Year Painting Major at the University of Florida, I plan to graduate with a BFA and a minor in Art History and a minor in Business Administration.
I work with collage and vibrant colors to create chaotic, eye-catching compositions. I am currently working with imagery from my travels to explore ideas of memory and how visual stimuli can be translated when collaged together. By collaging these moments, I give the audience fragments of my memories so they can visualize the tangled web of experiences that words can fail to illustrate.
