Wepa Woman

Check out Wepa Woman, a life-sized comic book character created by Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz, illustrator and multimedia installation artist. She is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, the recipient of the 2001 Bronx Recognizes It¹s Own (BRIO) Award, and a recent fellow of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.

Wepa Woman's true identity is Julissa Salvatodo, a young woman from the Bronx, raised by her single mother. Intelligent and shy, she was poised for greatness. She had a mild temperament and was very helpful in her home. A school transfer in her senior year in high school brought the challenges that any teen would face: new friends, new environment. She struggled to adapt.
