Meet the artist:

Erika Lino is currently pursuing a BFA in Studio Art with a focus in ceramics at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (Brownsville campus). Since 2022, she has exhibited her work in multiple student and juried exhibitions at UTRGV and within the Rio Grande Valley. Her awards and recognitions include the Wilcox Art Scholarship, the COFA Dean’s Scholarship, the Engaged Scholar Award (received 3 times), the Carlos G. Gómez Advanced Painters Scholarship, and the San Juanita Trigo Endowed Memorial Scholarship in Art. She has also conducted research on ceramic glazes, for which she received an honorable mention. She currently works as a student assistant in the UTRGV ceramic studio, where she supports kiln maintenance, glaze preparation, studio organization, and assistance with classroom activities.

Artist Statement:

“I am proud to call the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) home. From the outside looking in, the RGV is defined by its location on the U.S.-Mexico border. But to me, my hometown transcends lines on maps, just as the people here transcend the border itself, constantly passing back and forth for school, work, or family. This place is striking, the flora: subtropical Cenizo shrub, desert nopales, and the prickly coronas de cristo all make up a garden of inspiration. The fauna: the shy ocelots, vibrant Pericos Mexicanos, the resilient opossums, all living alongside me. The people: the women sacrificing themselves for their family, the men silent and repressed, the elders gifting their wisdom, and all shaping my heart. This is where I learned to persevere through hardship. Ceramics has become my way to express and honor the culture around me. Clay is an extension of my identity, my history, and my understanding of it all, both in the literal and the metaphorical sense. Growing up in the estuary of the Rio Grande Valley, where the river forms the physical border between the U.S. and Mexico, I live just behind the river’s edge, surrounded by rich clay deposits that likely met the hands of my ancestors and now meet mine.“

Artist Statement:

“My art explores the subjects of self-identity, culture, religion, and dreams through different mediums. As these are a constant in my life and I like to document them from my perspective of how I view them and how they change over time.”
