Art

Drawing upon themes of identity, spirituality, and connection to the natural world,  Justina’s artwork serves as a visual exploration into the essence of the “true self” and the concept of being a "human being" rather than a "human doing".  She primarily paints with gouache and acrylic but often incorporates mixed media components such as wire, textiles, and natural elements into her pieces.  Her artistic vision emerges from a diverse array of references,  from wrestling with and celebrating her curls, curves, and curiosities to explorations of pattern, cubist abstraction, and magical realism.  Through her work, Justina seeks to uproot binary thinking and inspire others to embrace their creativity, celebrate diversity, and honor the interconnectedness of all living things.
