About Maru Aponte:

Maru Aponte is a Puerto Rican artist whose practice is informed by plein air painting, watercolour as a contemporary medium and the expression of colour in the Caribbean. Watercolour is a mediator and channel that transports her home to the ocean, waterfalls, pools, rain and humidity of her native island. Aponte recently graduated with an MFA from Emily Carr University of art and design in Vancouver. Previously, she attended The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was the first Puerto Rican to graduate from the painting department of The Royal Academy of Fine Arts. She was the 2023 Emily Carr Fellowship Resident at Griffin Art Projects.

Presented by the Audain Faculty of Art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, hosted by FRMS: 300: Art Forums Course.
