Verónica Ramírez Martell is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and problem-solver focused on arts access and education in the Greater Boston area. They are currently pursuing a Master’s in Library and Information at Simmons University, with an Information Science & Technology concentration, to weave together a decade of field experience in arts education & administration with technical skills web development, systems analysis, and database management.
Currently, V is Director of Adult Learning & Engagement at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts in Jamaica Plain, where they’ve worked as a teacher, administrator, and a variety of roles since 2015 bringing art education to public schools and community centers within the Greater Boston area. Before this role, V served as Program Officer for Mass Cultural Council’s Community Initiative, supporting over 70 local cultural councils in Berkshire, Plymouth, and Worcester County through coaching, professional development, and capacity building. They champion creativity, documentation, and transparency as a method for community capacity-building.
Verónica teaches both children and adults in a variety of topics and disciplines with a passion for encouraging enjoyment, confidence, and experimentation in students. Their artistic practice explores the tropical landscapes and flora of home, documents their personal journey, and celebrates the many tiny details that make up the world. Seeing creating as a crucial part of life, V does not identify with a specific medium—they use a variety of media and focus on exploration, deleite, and love.
