A mixed media artist, Irma seeks inspiration from the materials that she uses in her artwork. She embeds fragments of hand-written letters that were sent to her from her grandparents upon her immigration to Canada. She also integrates her own childhood drawings – lovingly preserved by her grandmother – in between the layers of acrylic. Fragments of other documents and ephemera are also included in the process of creating rich textures, colour, and meaning within her artwork. It is through these deeply personal autobiographical elements that the artist addresses her own identity as an immigrant and the impact it has had on her since her arrival in Canada.
