Meredith Ochoa is ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST—a former ballerina turned mixed media artist, author, photographer, and generational cycle-breaker who turned 17 years of excruciating endometriosis into a revolutionary body of healing artwork.

Her journey started in the shadows—recovering from an eating disorder, building pinhole cameras by hand, and falling in love with the alchemy of the darkroom. When digital photography took over, she challenged the movement by turning a scanner into a large-format camera—flattening depth to make the subject the negative. This integration of old‑world photography principles with new‑world tech became her signature technique, and the way she started revealing the stories our bodies keep.

But it wasn’t until she experienced a series of near-death menstrual experiences that the real unraveling began. After years of being dismissed by doctors, pumped with medications, hormones, and told “it’s all in your head,” Meredith took her healing into her own hands—she studied the infradian rhythm, dismantled medical lies, and healed herself of a disease the system said was incurable.

That liberation sparked Every Phase—a 13‑year art project (2021‑2033) creating a piece for every hormonal phase—Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal & Menstrual.
The series is a moving blueprint for anyone learning to alchemize biology into fuel and biohack with art, whether their battle is endo or a heartbreak no scan can see.

Her work wages a visual war on medical gaslighting, inviting viewers to face their own contradictions: shadow and light, pain and power. Each piece is a mirror—and a key—for anyone told “it’s all in your head.”

Why does she make art?
Because images can slip past the gatekeepers of logic and land directly in the bloodstream.
Because authenticity is the first medicine.
Because living a lie almost killed her—and creation keeps her honest.
Because pain is power waiting to be translated, if you’re willing to face your shit.
