Katrina Sánchez

Katrina Sánchez Standfield is an interdisciplinary Panamanian-American artist. Through fibers and mixed materials she makes vibrant and tactile objects and installations that examine the social and environmental networks in which we function. The intersection in which we relate to ourselves, each other, and our environments is at the center of what inspires her work. 

Sánchez’s current practice evolved from experiences repairing personal objects through visible mending in her studio, as well as her background as a seamstress. Her work is also heavily influenced by the matriarchs of her family and the passing down of textile traditions. She holds a BFA in Fibers from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and is a collective member of Goodyear Arts. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent showings at the VOLTA Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland, the Miami Art Week VIP section, and String Theory at Hodges Taylor x Jamila Brown, Charlotte, NC. Sánchez has been commissioned by companies such as Lowe’s, Credit Karma, Truist, MTV Entertainment Studios, and Ally Bank. Her work is held in the collection of Fidelity Investments. She is currently preparing for a solo activation at the Mint Museum in Charlotte and a solo exhibition at Abigail Ogilvy Gallery in Los Angeles.
