Aydinaneth Ortiz received her BA in Art at the University of California, Los Angeles and MFA in Photography at the California Institute of the Arts. Utilizing documentary, landscape, and portrait photography, she focuses on intersections between urban structures, familial relationships, mental illness, drug addiction, and immigration. For years, her art has been a direct response to personal struggles and familial hardships. Most would shy away from making the private so public, but Ortiz has found that through the art-making process, she can channel her negative energy into a shared conversation. Ortiz has exhibited her artwork internationally, most notably at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College and the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, where she is now part of their permanent collection.
Ortiz is currently Assistant Professor of Photography at Cypress College. |
