Leticia ( Tiza) Maldonado
Instructor
Leticia Maldonado is a Mexican American mixed media sculptor with a focus in illuminated glass. Leticia finds inspiration, love and power in the mythology we create as individuals, within a family and within a society. Believing the treasure of mythology is to encompass those we love in communion and to share truths with one another, Leticia’s sculpture focuses on objects that espouse these stories and encourage emotional time travel. Leticia was named the official Artist of The 2025 Latin Grammy Awards. She was invited to create a three dimensional neon sculpture to represent both the award itself and the spirit of the awards. This artwork is now part of the permanent collection of The Latin Recording Academy. She currently lives and work in Los Angeles, California.
