Sánchez, a Panamanian-American artist based in Charlotte, specializes in soft sculpture, delving into themes of connection, healing, and security. Drawing inspiration from personal mending experiences and cultural heritage, Sánchez infuses tenderness and optimism into her pieces, while also exploring scale to evoke a playful confrontation and power. With a BFA in Fibers from UNC Charlotte, she is a collective member of Goodyear Arts, has exhibited her work internationally, has been commissioned by notable companies included Lowe’s, Credit Karma, Truist, and Ally Bank and is currently working on a new body of work that will be exhibited at Volta Basel in Switzerland, 2024.

“My hands move through the fabric, weaving thread over and under to rebuild. The wonderful textures created through mending are what influenced me to create giant magnified versions.”
