Jennifer Pate, founder & owner of Maridad Studios, creates whimsical yet thought provoking figurative illustrations that tap into the uncanny and imaginative spaces of mundane life. Based in Austin, TX, the artist is constantly absorbing new inspiration from the culturally diverse food scene, uniquely crafted cocktails, and personal interests in exploring and understanding the nature of the world around her. By reflecting on her own experience as a Hispanic Queer female artist, Jenn produces surreal depictions as a way to expand on limiting structures of identity. What started in 2017 as a meditation on temptation has since evolved into an ever-growing series that binds her penchant for figure drawing and interest in movement, body language, health, and sexuality.
"My inspiration lies in the mundane and everyday actions that can remind people the beauty of being alive today. Food instills such a visceral memory of life, it connects people together."
