Virmarie DePoyster is a Puerto Rican-born multidisciplinary artist, educator, and community leader. As a practicing artist, she explores the complexities of identity. As an educator, she develops therapeutic art programs, providing safe spaces for self-reflection. And as a community leader, she advocates for equality and inclusion.
Her exhibition Beyond Labels | Más Allá De Las Etiquetas was displayed at The Arts & Science Center in 2021. In the pastel portrait show, DePoyster explored how in today's world — a melting pot — the labels we assign each other have the power to either divide or connect us. Beyond Labels.
She lives in North Little Rock, Arkansas with her husband, David. You can find her work at the Art Group Gallery in Little Rock.
