Hi !
My name is Paula Ioanne Joglar Torres
I am an artist and Polk State College graduate who specializes in painting, pottery, photography, and drawing. My work is characterized by an exploration of perspective, color, and texture. I draw inspiration from my Puerto Rican heritage to create pieces that explore the relationship between individuals and their environment. My artwork is a reflection of my personal experiences and the collective memories of my culture. My work is a reflection of my own journey and the resilience of my people.
