Career

Fernández was born in Burgos, Spain, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. She earned a BFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2002 and a MFA from the California Institute for the Arts in 2010. Fernández is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant.

As part of her practice, Fernandez explores the geography, real and imagined, created and shaped by the people displaced as a result of the repression during Franco’s dictatorship in Spain. In 2014, as part of her residency at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica, CA, Fernandez presented her exhibition Points of Departure (Between Spain and France) where she documents and recreates the walks of these displaced Spaniards over the Pyrenees into France.

In 2015, Fernández was an Artist in Residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts, a program that brings together pioneering artists from all disciplines. Her work was also recognized by the Récollets Residency Program in 2016.
