Daniela Gomez Paz is an artist and educator. Through the repurposing of fabrics, plastics, paper and objects, she makes work that intersects between painting, collage and sculpture. She immigrated from Cali, Colombia to New York City where she acquired a Double Degree: BFA [Painting/Drawing] & BA [Art History] from SUNY Purchase School of Art and Design and a MAT [Masters in Art Teaching] from Queens College. In 2017, she received the Signal Fire Fellowship for the Wide-Open Studio Backpacking Residency Program and was awarded a grant to attend the Vermont Studio Center Residency Program. Gomez Paz has exhibited in group exhibitions at La Salita (NYC), LES, Abrazo Interno Gallery: The Clemente Soto Velez Center (NYC), Wayfarers Gallery (Brooklyn), Brooklyn Brush (Brooklyn), Ess Ef Eff Gallery (Brooklyn), Plaxall Gallery (Queens),Chashama Gallery (NYC), ERA VI VII VI (Queens), TU CASA Space (Queens), and Dolly Maass Gallery (Purchase, NY). Her work has been collected by the SUNY Purchase School of Art and Design. Periodically, she is a Museum Educator and Teaching Artist in MoMA, El Museo del Barrio, Queens Museum, Arts and Minds, Dedalus Foundation, Socrates Sculpture Park and BRIC. Currently, she is an educator in the First Program at the Dalton School and embarked on an expedition with a team of environmental educators in Aysen, Patagonia, Chile. Through conversation and reflection around complex questions about consumption, conservation, climate change, technology, and the future of environmentalism, she continues to research ways in which art and sustainability practices can merge and become profoundly integrated into school curriculums.
