Angelica Tapia (she/her; b. 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist. Her work investigates perception and cultural identity through surreal, introspective imagery. Drawing inspiration from natural, botanical, and biomorphic forms, her art forges new archetypes that exist between reality and imagination.
Angelica is a Mexican-American Nebraskan artist and educator now living in Lincoln, Nebraska. She received her BFA with a minor in Philosophy from the University of Kearney in Nebraska (2021). She earned her MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a minor in Printmaking (2025). Angelica has been in a multitude of exhibitions across Nebraska and nationally, notably at Kindred at the MONA (Kearney, Ne), Gallery 1516: Ollas Artelatinx (Omaha, Ne), and an installation for Día de Los Muertos hosted by the Smithsonian (Washington, D.C.).
She is also a designer, muralist, and teacher for Impact Art, an art-focused non-profit whose mission is to create and promote positive public mural art and mentor young artists across Nebraska.
