About Evelyn Hernandez

Evelyn Hernandez (@evelyn.dez) is a Mexican- American ceramic sculptor and instructor from Los Angeles who primarily uses recycled and locally foraged clays.

Her work focuses on the connections between people, spaces, and nature. Continuously weaving together her experiences to reflect on ideas of ecology, equity, and identity.

Objective
