Visual artist Tonia Calderon seeks poetry within life’s complexities. Her layering process begins with a hand-written stance or couplet to serve as the work’s title. Calderon's artwork blends natural materials, flower pigments, resin, and chemical elements to galvanize movement and function as a reflection of her continuous exploration of living.
