Fort Worth based Chicana artist, Astral Tripper, has been honing their skills in folk art, divination, mediumship, and creative expression of the heart over the last decade. Originally a costume portrait photographer, they pivoted to illustration and painting in their late twenties after a series of out of body experiences. This culminated in a homecoming to their maternal family's roots by way of curanderismo, where they began honing their clairvoyant and intuitive skills through divinatory arts and spiritual cleansing rites. Their current area of focus is illustration and ceramics.
Astral Tripper's evolution as an artist and spiritual practitioner allows them to return to a state of being that came naturally to them as a child, where there was no separation between dreams and waking life. They explore the liminality of identity through the intersections of childlike wonder, neurodivergence, generational trauma, and the spiritual healing process. Their artwork is an invitation to meet at the crossroads and surrender to the power of your imagination.
