Las Cruces–based Chicana interdisciplinary artist Eva Gabriella Flynn crafts work that maps the emotional terrain of the U.S.–Mexico border in a poetic way. Trained with a BFA and MFA in Studio Arts, Gabriella puts personal narrative, regional history, and ecological materials into her drawings, textile flags, and desert-dyed paintings, using pigments made from cochineal, onion skins, juniper, and pecan shells sourced in the Chihuahuan Desert.

Her eye-catching maps and elegant flags inhabit a liminal space (a terrain both real and imagined) spoken through layered fabrics, hand-drawn forms, and desert-born color palettes.

Recognized with a Chihuahuan Desert Cultural Fellowship and New Mexico’s Emerging Artist grant, her work has shown nationally and internationally at venues including SITE Santa Fe, Zhou B Art Center, and Field Projects in New York.
