DEADHAND

ARTIST BIO:

DEADHAND is a surrealist painter and designer who lives and works in Pueblo, Colorado. Her colorful works incorporate strong symbology and surreal landscapes to encourage the viewer to question their own perception and contemplate life and death. Her distinctive style often draws inspiration from dreams and long meditation sessions where she aims to explore her subconscious mind.

​

As a teenager, she sustained nerve damage while working and has difficulty using the full range of motion in her hands. Using obstacles as inspiration, she created deadhandArt in 2018. As the artist explains, “I’ve had a few deeply profound experiences that led me to realize if I didn’t become an artist, I would regret it for the rest of my life.”

​

She is a multiple-time first-place award winner for her artwork and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Colorado State University-Pueblo in 2021 with her BFA in Fine Art. She is also the recipient of various grants and awards such as the INSITE Fund Grant through the Andy Warhol Foundation in 2025.

​

Her artworks have been shown all over Colorado with 15 solo exhibitions under her belt since her start in 2018.  DEADHAND is one of the Pueblo Levee Muralists working on the collaborative project to complete the world's largest mural in Pueblo, Colorado.
