Vanessa Tasé Sueiro, a self-proclaimed friend of a friend, is an artist from Cuba based in New York City and (occasionally) Sarasota. Her passion for storytelling, though an innate pursuit, has not yet matured into any one art form. Recently, when asked what type of art she makes, Vanessa recites this series of personal aphorisms: “I am a career poet, a closet musician, a sore eye with a knack for movement, a second-nature fabulist, and an aspiring playwright”. On her best days as a person, she is a child, and, when you are not looking, a magician. Her boldest dreams include being a genius, writing proverbs, and flying a plane.
