About Our Teaching Artist:
Haya Cuzick is a Southern California based artist. She received an MFA from The School of the Institute of Art of Chicago in 2002. Working predominantly in clay and mixed media, she draws inspiration from her indigenous Mexican and Spanish heritage as well as from her belief that humans are a part of nature and not in control of it.
Haya’s view of life and nature result in the creation of vignettes depicting scenes of a personal lore that highlights a playfulness and love of for all things in nature. The central character is a skeleton or”calaca” she thinks of as “the mother of all things”.
