Ursula! Chuco Relic's Head Designer
Gente en el Chuco: Ursula đ¨
They say that when you find your passion in life, nothing can keep you from it. And thatâs true for local artist, Ursula, aka, @urshfish. âThereâs something about taking a blank page and turning it into art that is very rewarding, I would say thatâs my favorite thing. No matter whatâs going on in your life, you can set it aside, and create something out of nothing. And itâs really rewarding as well to have that canvas not only be my sketchbook/computer screen, but a t-shirt for @chucorelic.â
A self-taught artist, Ursula studied a Bachelorâs in Biological Sciences at UTEP and started working in graphic design during Covid in 2020. Ever since, sheâs re-found her passion for art while designing for Chuco Relic.
âOf course making art comes with its grain of impostor syndrome, but battling that is something that takes lifelong learning, I think. In order to start, you have to allow yourself to make âbadâ art. Make art without fear of it not being âgood enoughâ, and push yourself to constantly learnâ but also be proud of what youâve created.
One of my favorite pieces would be âtwo loversâ, I drew it in Chalk the Block 2023 and drawing with chalk was very challenging! But the drawing itself is about love and balance, and how the purest love has no gender, no borders, but a balance in all things.â
Ursula has designed many things at Chuco Relic, she is the head behind the whole operation. We are so lucky to have her on our team! You can support local artists like Ursula by stopping in and buying her stuff, like these cute cards for your Valentine! đ
Fun fact: Why Urshfish? đA walking Darwin fish is the symbol for evolution, so itâs a nod to Ursulaâs science background- with the Urshfish holding a pencil instead.
