miela foster

is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher mapping human perception and memory through a practice called

visual poetics: using poetic devices like rhythm and metaphor to build layered meaning.

through pattern, texture, and form, her work traces memory, lineage, and cultural evolution, crafting portals that invite reflection and transformation — much like your favorite poem.

foster the studio is her studio practice, part design house and part living archive, here her art powers an ecosystem of garments, objects, curated shows, and ephemera that function as artifacts of the collective consciousness.

her work has been featured in the SF Bayview Newspaper, Canvas Rebel, a KQed Review and exhibited in galleries across California, including Root Division Gallery and a recent solo show at NeueHouse Hollywood.
