Ingrid Sojit was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and mostly grew up near Washington DC. She's lived in Colorado, Argentina and Mexico before settling in Washington State. Though Ingrid’s educational background does not include a degree in studio art, she does not consider herself self-taught because she did receive a good deal of formal instruction. Throughout much of her life Ingrid’s preferred medium was paint (usually acrylic on paper or canvas). A fascination with texture and materiality often led her to experiment with elements of collage within her paintings. While living in Argentina from 2006 to 2015 she began working mostly in paper collage, a period lasting until the first year of the pandemic. In 2020, Ingrid returned to painting, now choosing to work with oils on cradled wood boards. The many years she spent exclusively on collage has greatly influenced the evolution of Ingrid’s vision as a painter.
