Liliana Flores is an artist with cerebral palsy. She believes that art can be a powerful tool for expression, healing and learning, especially for students with disabilities.

Her work has given her an outlet to express herself in a world that often disregards people with disabilities. Art has given Flores the opportunity to share her experiences and explore how differing abilities shape perceptions. Through her art, Flores shares her journey and hopes to inspire others to achieve their dreams despite what the rest of the world may say. Art is a tool to help individuals with differing abilities learn, create and express themselves. It gives a way to reflect and understand themselves in a world that doesn’t always accept them. 

Flores’ faith and culture, along with her physical abilities, anchor her work. They remind us that creation is not just an act of making, but a practice of listening, learning and reflecting. Each piece becomes a way to understand where she comes from and how she navigates the world moving forward. With her Master of Arts and Master of Education, Flores is committed to becoming an educator who uses art as a meaningful and inclusive practice. She aims to create supportive learning environments where students of all abilities feel seen, valued and empowered to express their own stories.
