Biography[edit]

Born in Guanabacoa, Havana in 1954, Garcia-Ferraz emigrated to the United States in 1971 with her father, older sister and little brother. It took the family years before they were allowed to depart Cuba. Her mom and little sister reunited with them later on in Chicago, where they decided to establish themselves. Her father, a musician, wanted to live in a place where he could feel and hear music. The night they arrived he went out looking for a job and found one playing piano at one of the many jazz clubs in downtown.[1][23]

In Chicago she had several jobs to support the family, but she wanted to study art so she created a portfolio of drawings which granted her a scholarship at the School of the Art Institute in 1976. During her time at the School of Arts she started painting large pieces of paper with oil often writing texts in Spanish perhaps as a way to express and not to forget who she was and where she was from.

She obtained a BFA in 1981 in Drawing and Photography but she also took classes on film and independent video. Upon graduation she was awarded the Ryerson Traveling Fellowship[24]. She has also received two National Endowment for the Arts, in 1985, 1986 and the Illinois Art Council Fellowship in 1989 and the Mac Arthur Foundation Media Grant in 1994.[24] [25],[26].[27]

Garcia Ferraz moved to the Bay Area in 1997 where she had a studio in East Oakland. She founded The Photography Program at MACLA, San Jose California in 1998 and in 2000 she was the recipient of The Richard Diebenkorn Teaching Fellowship from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2000 - 2001.[28][29][27][30]

In 2001 she moved to Miami where she co-founded 801 Projects with Angela Valella, an exhibition space where they curated many exhibitions, among others "Imperfect Archives".[31]

From 2011 to 2023 during her residence at the Fountainhead art studios[32], she worked with educations programs such as Women on the Rise [33]at MOCA of North Miami and Brick by Brick[34], the award-winning outreach education art program at Pérez Art Museum[3] and at the Idea Lab at BASS Art Museum in Miami. In 2022 she was awarded with the South Florida Visual Arts Consortium Fellowship.[35][31][36]
