Linnea Reyes-LaMon
Emerging multimedia visual artist based in New York City
Linnea Reyes-LaMon is a Black American artist from southern California, now based in New York City. Having received a B.S. in Mathematics and B.A. in Global Studies from Carnegie Mellon University, and a M.A.T. in Mathematics from Bard College, Reyes-LaMon creates books and visual art exploring several themes. She has taken courses at Carnegie Mellon University, Berklee College of Music, Rhode Island School of Design and the Center for Book Arts to advance her artistic practice. Starting her creative career as a drummer, she performed in The Oral History of Female Drummers by Tom Tom Magazine at MoMA PS 1, Brooklyn Museum, and The Knockdown Center. Her studies of mathematics and love for geometry have heavily influenced her approach to both music and visual art. She has created music-inspired visual patterns and works highlighting mathematical concepts related to her lessons as a high school geometry teacher. Since becoming a parent during the pandemic, Reyes-LaMon has explored themes of playfulness, queerness and motherhood using digital illustration and collage. Currently, Reyes-LaMon is tapping into a childhood pleasure of bookmaking as she creates zines about her personal growth, binds sketchbooks and journals, and intersects creative practices with her artist's books.
