Vero d. Orozco, a Nicaraguan-American from San Francisco, California, is a versatile visual artist and seasoned art administrator. Her artistic journey has been shaped by her unique approach to screen-printing. Born with one hand, this guided how she initially started screenprinting. Vero employs an intuitive process to meticulously screen-print each image onto paper, editing with acrylic paint and screen printing another image on top, resulting in captivating works that straddle the intersection of printmaking and painting.
She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the San Francisco Art Institute and a Master's degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. With a background in non-profit youth advocacy within the arts, she views her art practice as an indispensable tool for tapping into her inner wisdom and constantly exploring the concept of play by incorporating new ways to capture images.
Vero is dedicated to championing thoughtful discussions surrounding knowledge and serves as a catalyst for fostering collaborative conversations about equity within the realm of the arts. She aims to create inclusive spaces where such dialogues can flourish.
Centering inclusion, her most recent research is about the need to create conversations among People of Color (POC) on issues of racism, economic disparities, risk-taking, and participation in larger, inequitable systems in the arts.
