Leticia R. Bajuyo received an MFA from the University of Tennessee and a BFA from the University of Notre Dame. Prior to her time at the University of Oklahoma, she served as an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, Visiting Assistant Professor at Notre Dame, and Professor of Art at Hanover College. In addition, she has taught summer workshops at Anderson Ranch Arts Center and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and chairs the Visual Arts panel for YoungArts in Miami, Florida.
An interdisciplinary sculptor, Bajuyo’s public commissions, immersive installations, and delicate visual poems transform collected audio media, cast metal, and synthetic remnants into carefully crafted objects that examine how identity, value, and desire are constructed and reshaped overtime. She has participated in national and international residency programs, including the Muscarelle Museum of Art in Williamsburg, Virginia; Fountainhead Artist Residency in Miami, Florida; Sloss Metal Arts in Birmingham, Alabama, and the From Waste to Art Museum in Baku, Azerbaijan.
In addition to her individual artwork, she seeks community by participating in artist collectives including Land Report Collective and Project Vortex, co-founding the 24 Hours of Wonder archive, and serving on the board of directors for the Mid-South Sculpture Alliance.
