Aiyana Perez is a visual artist based in Lander, Wyoming, known for her surrealist exploration of nature’s beauty through paintings and public art. A member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, she was born and raised on the Wind River Reservation. With a diverse background in art—including digital media, stained glass, photography, and public art—Perez uses various mediums to express her creativity. She earned an associate degree in fine arts and an associate of applied science in photography, both from Central Wyoming College in 2021.
In 2022, Perez founded SageBrush Studio, which allows her to prepare for gallery exhibitions across Wyoming while fostering a vibrant artistic community and refining her own skills.
“Within my artwork, I incorporate motifs of universal thought, mountainous landscapes, and surrealist realities, allowing viewers to dive into a metaphorical realm,” Perez says. “Raising cultural awareness by including the Western narrative, but especially Indigenous peoples’ history, in an ever-changing community is what I strive to push through my art narrative. Through my work, I aim to push boundaries, foster artistic dialogue, and share the power of visual storytelling. I hope to create art that encourages others to see the world through a similar lens of wonder and imagination.”
