Sandra Pérez-Ramos (born San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican visual artist currently residing and working out of the Greater Washington, D.C. area. Pérez-Ramos earned a BA in Visual Arts for Public Communication in 1997 from the School of Communication at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus.
Work
Pérez-Ramos describes her latest works as Neo-Folk. Her mixed media works were included in three photography biennials in Cuba and Puerto Rico, and her fiber arts and drawings in multiple exhibitions throughout the US.
In 2020 her work was described by art critic Lennox Campello: "Her artistic pedigree is evident in her gifted use of color and form to deliver highly stylized imagery, which over the years has grown into one of the hardest achievements in the art world: a completely distinct style and ritual."
In 2022, one of her works was selected as the finalist for a major Maryland Park Public Art Project.
She was the co-founder and vice-president of former The Latino Art League of Greater Washington DC, and the former Membership Chair at the Montgomery Art Association.
