Alejandra Vera is an interdisciplinary artist interested in art, craft, and design. She is originally from Quito, Ecuador, and previously based in Toronto, Canada. After training in painting and sculpture, she discovered ceramics later in her career, a medium that changed the focus of her artistic practice. Her current research aims to investigate the connection between the land and the creation of ceramic artworks. She specifically focuses on the role of nature in the ceramic production process and its implications concerning our relationship to the environment.
She holds a BFA from NSCAD University in Fine Arts, an MFA from the University of Barcelona, and a diploma in ceramics from Escola d’Art La Industrial in Spain.
