La Güita

La Güita is a Nicaraguan-Canadian artist based in Calgary/Mohkinstsis whose practice is rooted in storytelling. Guided by memory, emotion, and her connection to the natural and spiritual worlds, Güita’s work serves as an ongoing act of remembering— weaving personal reflections, ancestral teachings, and the stories that cross her path. Using vivid colours, symbolic imagery, and fluid forms, she honours the strength, joy, and sacredness that live within us. Through her art, Güita creates spaces of calm and reflection, inviting viewers to reconnect with themselves, the land, and the unseen energies that guide them. Each piece acts as a gesture of care and reclamation, offering a reminder that healing and transformation can exist together in beauty.

Güita’s multidisciplinary practice spans visual art, muralism, and arts facilitation. Her murals can be seen in Calgary and Michigan through commissions with the BUMP Festival, Pleasant Peninsula Mural Festival, and other community initiatives. She has collaborated with organizations including the Werklund Centre (formerly Arts Commons), Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, Humainologie, Calgary Arts Development, Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, Art for Social Change Network, 100% Skate Club, and The Blox BIA.
