Veronica explores the narratives we construct when we come from places that no longer exist or are in the process of disappearing. By working with her family’s image archive, she engages with the fractured nature of memory, reflecting the experience of knowing her birthplace only through second-hand accounts. She grew up in Mexico City followed by South Florida.

She earned her BFA in Textile Design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2022. While at RISD, she received a RISD Museum scholarship to study in Oaxaca, immersing herself in local material cultures. She was also awarded the Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholarship in support of her thesis project Standing on Porous Rock, which examined the climate crisis through the lens of Miami’s tourist economy. At RISD, she collaborated with artist Corina Dorrego to develop an independent study with Professor Sean Nesselrode-Moncada, analyzing the visual systems that shape representations of the Caribbean for tourist consumption. Together, they co-curated Of Soiled Bodies, a student exhibition centered on displacement and uprootedness. After graduating, Veronica taught off-loom weaving to elementary students before becoming a home textile designer at Anthropologie in Philadelphia, where she expanded her understanding of textile manufacturing. She later pivoted away from commercial design to pursue work that sustains and deepens her personal artistic practice. She is currently an artist-in-residence at the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn and a member of the Brooklyn Lace Guild. Her recent group exhibitions include Under Archives at SET Art Space in London and The Future Belongs to the Loving at MAPSpace in Portchester, NY.
