Born in 2001, Natalia Rodarte is a multimedia artist based in El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts at The University of Texas at El Paso. Through diverse mediums, including illustration, painting, and metal fabrication, she aims to reveal uncomfortable truths often silenced in her community.
