Yomarie Silva –O’Neal is an active sculptor whose work focuses on small and seemingly insignificant biological forms. Her pieces express the intersection of her love of art and science by using microscopic imagery of fungi and lichen. She uses repetition and abstraction in her sculptures of organic forms, often changing their scale and changing how we as viewers would typically encounter them.
Her work intends to display the order in nature and the artistry in science.
Silva-O’Neal was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico in 1973. She has also been a Professor of Sculpture, 3-D Design, Drawing, and Art Appreciation at Miami Dade College for over 16 years. Her teaching focuses on a hands-on approach to problem solving and self-expression through various materials and subject matter. She has exhibited her work along the East Coast and currently works with LnS Gallery in Miami, Florida.
