Alison Lee Schroeder
ALISON LEE SCHROEDER’S artwork and personal identity have been shaped by three countries. Raised in the United States by a Colombian mother and Minnesotan father, she has spent most of her adult life in Mexico, and is a wife to and mother of Mexicans, now living in the D.C. area. In a constant mental and emotional migration between these cultures and identities, her artwork often references the disorienting experience of not being either inside or outside, as well as that of being both inside and outside.

Her work has been exhibited in Washington, D.C., and Mexico City. New York, Paris, Los Angeles, and in other parts of Mexico and the United States, where she has also worked as a curator, gallery director, and commissioner for planning and programming of cultural development.
