Coralina Rodriguez Meyer

Brooklyn and Miami-based artist Coralina Rodriguez Meyer’s work tackles topics of racism, gender, and power imbalances. In 2005 she founded Abra Studio, a thriving interior and exterior design firm, where she does work for Fortune 500 companies and pioneering startups—getting coverage in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, the Los Angeles Times, and Metropolis. “My career has been one foot in architecture development, one foot in academia, and one foot in the arts for more than 20 years,” she said.

Hunter’s Art MFA program provided the studio space she needed to develop her work across disciplines, and she found mentors in professors Nari Ward, Juan Sanchez, and Lynda Klich, who collectively helped her discover who she was as an artist. “Nari Ward was the reason I applied to Hunter,” she said. “I’m also grateful for Professor Sanchez’s kind and honest support, and for Professor Klich, who introduced me to the powerful Latinx history.” 

Meyer’s art work has been featured in The New York Times, Univision, The Guardian, London Review of Books, and Jezebel, and exhibited at the Queens, Bronx, and Smithsonian museums, among others. Recently, she has taught architecture and landscape and urban design at Florida International University.
