DIANA CANDELEJO

Passionate social change agent by day. Social justice artist by night.

Not all of us are just one thing. If you're like me, you've got a strong left AND right brain. While I've got a meaningful 9-5 job, I'm still an artist and social justice advocate at heart. My purpose is to promote a more just society, one that seeks social and economic justice for all.

I’m a visual artist, UX design enthusiast, social justice advocate, and economist based in Newark, NJ. I’m a Latina immigrant who’s passionate about leveraging data and design to promote more equitable local economies.

5 things about me you didn't know

  • I'm trilingual. Born in France and immigrated to the USA when I was a toddler, but my parents are of Ecuadorian descent, so I HAD to learn Spanish at home. Continued to take French classes for many years so I would not forget my first language!
  • I studied Renaissance art in Florence, Italy for 4 months. Talk about learning how to draw the naked human body for HOURS.
  • Went to Arts High School in Newark, NJ and was a Fine Art major.
  • One of my favorite places as a kid was the Newark Public Library. Spent a lot of time doing those coloring/art/crafts competitions as a kid. Tell me you did those??
  • Favorite painter(s)include: Frida Kahlo, Kehinde Wiley. Favorite Sculptor: Gian Lorenzo Bernin
