Alicia Reyes McNamara

Alicia Reyes McNamara is an artist whose paintings and drawings explore displacement and hybridity through Mexican and Irish folklore and myth, reclaiming female deities as self-possessed figures. They trained with an MFA from the University of Oxford Ruskin School of Art (2016) and a BFA from California College of the Arts. Their work has been shown across London and internationally, including at The Union for Contemporary Art and Whitechapel Gallery. In 2013 they designed and decorated a public piano in Omaha's Florence Park in partnership with The Union for Contemporary Art. Their 2024 exhibition at The Union for Contemporary Art was titled 'Two volcanos grow together, two rivers lay side by side'.
