Judith Flores
Judith Flores is a self-taught Mexican-American digital artist from Phoenix Arizona that relocated to Indianapolis Indiana in 2012. She graduated from IUPUI in 2021 with a B.A. in Philanthropic Studies but throughout her whole college career she experienced a lack of purpose. She always tried to suppress the creative part of herself but nonetheless gravitated towards artistic classes and outlets to explore her creative interests. It wasn’t until her last semester in college when she ran a fundraiser as part of a student organization where she created hispanic themed stickers to sell, that she truly committed to pursue her passion of art and digital creation.
She is currently running her small business called Just Vibin’ Stickers on etsy and also doing freelance work on the side. As of April 2023, she is part of the first cohort of Latino artists in the Latino Artist Mentorship Program, or LAMP, which is a guided course designed to help Latino break into Indy’s art scene with a professional presence. By the end of this program she will have exhibited her artwork at the Indianapolis Museum of Art along with the rest of her cohort, having gained valuable experience and important connections.
In the future she hopes to continue to expand her small business on top of becoming a self-sufficient artist with an established website and varied client portfolio. She wants to continue her education in graphic design and learn how to use various Adobe softwares to advance her skill set which will launch her to new heights in her artistic career.
