Artists Cecilia Ulibarri
FALL 2021 RESIDENT · OCT – DEC
Cecilia Ulibarri
Ink wash & resin · Nashua, NH
Cecilia Ulibarri is a mixed-media artist, makeup and body artist and arts leader based in Nashua, New Hampshire. She works in ink wash and resin, and joined Manchester AIR at The Factory on Willow in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the Fall 2021 session alongside her creative partner, Manny Ramirez.
Background
In 2010, as a single mother of two, Ulibarri resolved to take her artistic path seriously. She has since exhibited in RAW Artists showcases in New York and Boston, and served the City of Nashua as its constituent services and cultural affairs coordinator.
About the work
Ulibarri’s abstracts are eclectic and bold, each inspired by a particular moment in life and the feelings it carried. As she has said, there is no single style that defines her; every piece has its own vibe and feel. Community is central to her practice, and she regularly leads hands-on workshops that welcome newcomers into art-making, from alcohol-ink coasters to marbled ornaments.
Ulibarri is co-founder and executive director of Positive Street Art, a Nashua nonprofit that elevates street art, helps artists find walls for murals and works to build the local artist economy.
