Jo Archuleta (b. 2000, Taos, NM) is a contemporary figurative painter based in Kansas City, MO. Her work examines identity and the mythology of womanhood through themes of leisure, desire, and performance, navigating the expectations of femininity and gender roles to reveal transgressive and transformative definitions of self. The result is a body of work that situates itself between critique and play, myth and satire, self-awareness and self-sabotage.
