Ondraya Waters

Ondraya Waters is a mixed media artist and painter whose work explores the complex intersections of identity, body, and symbolism. She earned her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah in 2025, where she also completed an Honors thesis showcasing her early investigations into the relationship between food, the human body, and cultural stereotypes. As her practice evolves, Ondraya continues to delve into themes of gender politics, hybridity, and the abject, using layered materials and conceptual depth to challenge viewers’ perceptions and provoke dialogue.
