Vanessa Ortiz Reyes is multimedia artist born and based in San Diego, CA. Her explorations in nature influence her passion for photographic arts and metalsmith jewelry works.

Combine&Create Studio launched in 2018 in Barrio Logan the arts and cultural district of San Diego. With Cyanotype as the visual framework, her work considers ideas such as the primal and spiritual relationship to natural landscapes, and an inherently known feeling of belonging and adventure. Her photographic works both digital/film capture fleeting moments of nature, documenting the way in which people can live sustainably with the planet. She received her BFA from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle Washington majoring in Photography and minoring in environmental sciences.

The art of Craft has been a vital component of her Mexican cultural history and she strives to continue that artisan lineage. Her hand forged jewelry collections are made with pure metal alloys and set with ethically sourced gemstones and can be found in studio, online, and in local shops.
