Josie Licavoli is a Bay Area raised painter and art educator based in San Francisco. In her work, she reimagines a world where the feminine body and the earth remain in reciprocal relation. Drawing from the California coast, her Filipino ancestry and both Western and Asian art histories, Josie paints the figure as a spiritual, emotional and ecological site of knowledge. Rooted in myth, ecology, and lived experience, her paintings are an inquiry on the nuanced ways we mirror the environments we inhabit.
