miela foster

is a Los Angeles–based artist-researcher whose work spans painting, theory, and experiential learning. using the elements of poetry & jazz — texture, rhythm, color, & form — her work maps patterns in human systems, investigating how we live, perceive, remember, and collectively reimagine.

she extends this inquiry through her research practice, foster the studio, which uses art as an instrument to reveal invisible systems. through exhibitions, salons, collaborations, and design interventions, the studio creates a network for inquiry, audience participation & reflection on our futures.

her work has been featured in SF Bayview Newspaper, Canvas Rebel, and KQED, and exhibited across California, including NeueHouse Hollywood, Band of Vices Gallery, Root Division Gallery. she is also the recent winner of the 6th Annual Leimert Park Jazz Festival Juried Art Competition.
