Privileged with a preliterate and nomadic perception of the world up into young adulthood when she learned to read, this initial experience allowed for an awareness and sympathy for the under seen to remain active. Bear Medina’s work now centers on continuing this exploration of overlooked spaces and marginalized knowledge, yet is informed and empowered by a love of literature.
Self-taught, she primarily works in oil and graphite.
Bear Medina currently works out of Stevenson Washington.
