Libby Paloma is a queer, Mexican-American interdisciplinary artist based in New York. Working across sculpture, installation, and performance, Paloma utilizes maximal aesthetics, humor, and traditional sewing techniques to explore intersectional identity, chronic illness, and the concept of "world-softening." Before pursuing art, Paloma worked as a counselor, teacher, and speech-language pathologist. Paloma holds an MFA from Parsons School of Design.
