Ledesma creates work inspired by emotional, spiritual, and social issues. She is a painter, curator, and psychotherapist based in Chicago, Illinois. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ledesma is deeply connected to the plight of the poor, vulnerable, and undeserved. She attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Her work is about issues of emotional, spiritual and social construct, taking a closer look at the emotional impact of displacement in marginalized populations and to examine the symbolic language of indigenous peoples. Her interests involve the practical applications of psychoanalysis and art for the purpose of healing and empowerment, focusing on the use of art-making in the clinical treatment of adults.
