About

Background:

​

Perez’s love for the environment began at a young age. Growing up in Florida, she found solace in the state’s natural landscapes—orange groves, open fields, and the icy waters of freshwater springs—all of which provided a sense of relaxation and escape from the mundane. In 2015, she became increasingly aware of the climate crisis, particularly after the United Nations Climate Change Conference and the extensive media coverage that followed. Artists such as Olafur Eliasson, who brought melting ice blocks from Greenland to Paris as a striking visual representation of climate change, profoundly influenced her perspective. This sense of urgency would shape her artistic direction for the next decade.

​

During her undergraduate studies, Perez’s work began to explore the psychological impact of climate change and the influence of consumer culture on both the environment and society. Over time, her practice has expanded to examine the broader implications of the Anthropocene, particularly how climate change shapes daily life and individual experiences. She also explores the human condition in relation to these environmental shifts, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all disciplines and the ways they influence one another.

Currently, Perez is exhibiting new work at the Gainesville Fine Arts Association throughout 2025, following a successful 2024 exhibition year. To stay updated on her latest exhibitions, follow her on social media.
