Teaches at Newark Museum

Teaching Artist Antonia A. Perez is a mixed-media artist who collects discarded household detritus and repurposes it into sculpture, works on paper, paintings and site-specific installations. Her work focuses on the transformation of materials into a range of forms representing domestic objects or abstract structures referencing the environment, the home, textile design and culture, and hand-made traditions. She has exhibited her work locally and nationally, including El Museo del Barrio, the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, and the Queens Museum. Antonia holds a MFA from Queens College, CUNY.
