About RoPé:
An LGBTQ Artist who's main focus is in Ceramic art.
One of 7 children born and raised in NYC from Puerto Rican parents in the El Barrio section of Manhattan.
As a child art has always been a passion and an escape, it saved me.
For 20 years I've been committed to creating with clay, my heart lies in surfaces of functional / non-functional, and stylized sculptures.
Clay Story:
In 2004 RoPé participated in a full-time 2 year apprenticeship program at Bodanna Studio and Gallery in the east village (NYC, closed 2008).

It was the place where the basics and much more having to do with clay was learned; it was the greatest job ever.
Awarded the Analdo Duran scholarship 10-12 month's into the program which afforded her to go to Penland School of Arts and Crafts in North Carolina: where she worked closely with "Chuck Hindes and Ron Myers".
It was the place she realized that art didn't have to be created perfectly.
In 2007 she graduated from the program, and participated in her first group show in Soho NYC.
