Ariana Gomez is a visual artist living in Austin, TX. Centering photography and installation, Gomez’s practice explores mythmaking in relation to place, reflecting on her parent’s relationship to land. Her interest lies within the intersections of photography, video, and sound, and how they work together to create an experiential memory-scape of place.

Exhibitions include her solo show at Flats Gallery in Houston, TX, inclusion in the group show Even Distance with Trespasser Books at Preacher Gallery in Austin, TX, the Vermont Center for Photography in Brattleboro, VT, and Clamp Art Gallery in New York City. Previously her work has been shown at the Bronx Documentary Center in New York City, sTudio 7 for the Rockaway Artists’ Alliance in Fort Tilden, NY, and with LensCulture at Photo London, London, UK. Recent awards include second place in the 2024 Lenscratch Student Awards, The Hopper Prize Grant and a 2024 University Residency Fellowship from Studios at MASS MoCA. Gomez’s works are represented in the permanent collection of the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, TX.

Editorial clients include The New York Times, NYT Opinion, Lux Magazine, Texas Observer, The Atlantic, Plus Magazine, and People Magazine. Her work has been included in publications such as The Guardian, PetaPixel, PhMuseum, Booooooom, Ain’t Bad, Atlanta Center for Photography, Lenscratch, and Glasstire.

Gomez holds a BFA from The Rochester Institute of Technology and an MFA from The University of Texas in Austin, and is a Diversify Photo Up Next, and ICOSA Collective member.
