Veralisa Hunter

Medium: Mixed-Media Artist
Residency: January 1, 2002–
January 1, 2003

Veralisa Hunter is a jeweler, sculptor and fiber artist whose work is reflective of self-acceptance and responsibility for one’s culture. After realizing that she had been submerged into a culture that was not her own, she was reborn when she came into the knowledge that she was part of a great people: “. . . I discovered that many things represented me and yet some did not. You can see that struggle in my work. . .”
