Paola de la Calla '14
(Laura Gonzalez)
Multidisciplinary Artist
Paola de la Calle is a Colombian-American multidisciplinary artist whose work examines home, identity, borders, through the use of textiles, printmaking, and sculpture.
In her practice, she combines photographs sourced from family albums and found images to mine the aesthetics of nostalgia and examine the socio-political relationship between the United States and Colombia.
She is a graduate of the New York Foundation of the Arts Immigrant Artist Program in 2019 and the lead artist for the Caravan for the Children Campaign as part of her residency with Galeria de la Raza in 2020. She’s a 2022-2023 KALA Fellowship Award recipient and previously an Artist-in-Residence at the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn, New York.

After Lena graduated from CRLS she went to Brown University, where she studied biology and philosophy and took a few design classes from the neighboring Rhode Island School of Design. She then went to journalism school in New York City and discovered data visualization – which seemed like the perfect combination of information and design.
During her internship at the investigative newsroom ProPublica, she started pitching charts, graphics, and other data-driven stories, and soon was making them full time. She is now ProPublica’s Graphics Director, and lives in Santa Cruz with her husband and two toddlers.
