I am a Bolivian-Canadian artist, designer, and photographer based in Calgary. Through a nature-based art practice, I explore memory, belonging, healing, and the deep connections between people and the Land.

Much of my inspiration comes from my father, Roberto Vásquez, a renowned Bolivian botanist. His lifelong love for orchids and wild plants continues to shape my work. Through my own experiences in nature, I find a way to reconnect with him, with my roots, and with myself.

Navigating life in Canada as an immigrant has been a deeply personal journey of adaptation, grief, rediscovery, and connection. Nature became my refuge—a place where I could feel grounded again. I spend much of my time outdoors observing forests, photographing native plants, and learning about local ecosystems.

Over time, this connection to the land transformed into an essential part of my artistic practice and healing process. It continues to shape how I create, connect, and understand the world around me.

Alongside my personal work, I am part of Blooming Diversity, a community-based initiative that brings women together through nature-based creative experiences. Through walks, workshops, shared meals, and art-making outdoors, we create spaces for connection, reflection, care, and collective healing.
