Star Feliz is a Dominican-American artist originally from New York, NY currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Their artistic practice activates the intersections of spirit, ecology, and technology. Building upon their ancestral Afro-Taino lineage of multi-dimensional healing — Feliz works within sculpture, music, film, performance, and plant medicine to expand upon themes of hybridity, knowledge, and healing. In 2018 under the moniker of Priestusssy they released their first EP Cantos de Aje, an experimental exploration of devotional music. Their book When Eye Land was published by Printed Matter in 2023, and the 3rd edition of The Green Gold Oracle Deck is forthcoming in 2025.
Feliz is also the founder of Botánica Cimarrón — a wellness brand bridging connections between people and the transformative healing power of plants. Feliz has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally including The Kitchen, New York, NY; The Oregon Contemporary, Portland, OR; The Horse Hospital, London, UK; among others. They have been awarded numerous fellowships, residencies, and grants including ACRE, Steuben, WI; Mohn LAND Grant, Los Angeles, CA; and the Printed Matter Emerging Artist Publication Grant, New York, NY. They are a graduate of the MFA program at UCLA’s department of Interdisciplinary Studio.
