Ava Linda Feliz-Sutter

Ava Linda Feliz-Sutter is a writer, student, and artist whose work moves across language, literature, philosophy, religion, and the environmental humanities. In May 2026, she graduated from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, with an Honors B.A. in Romance Languages & Literatures, concentrating in Spanish and French, and a minor in Religion. Originally from Massachusetts, she has also lived in Miami, New Jersey, France, Chile, and Oregon, where she relocated in the summer of 2026.

In the Pacific Northwest, she hopes to devote more of her time to writing and to work rooted in environmental activism, Indigenous ecological knowledge, ecological stewardship, and cultural preservation. She eventually intends to pursue graduate study focused on Indigenous Studies across the Americas, with particular attention to philosophical and ecological thought. Her interests extend from pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cosmovisions and religions to contemporary cosmopolitical questions of land rights, sovereignty, and environmental justice in the Americas. In addition to her native English, she speaks Spanish and French at an advanced level, has a high-beginner foundation in Quechua, and has recently begun studying Nahuatl.

Her scholarly interests primarily gravitate toward the spiritual and metaphysical dimensions of language, narrative, and storytelling, especially the ways cosmological, philosophical, and ecological forms of knowledge are produced, preserved, and transmitted. In literary studies, she is especially drawn to Latin American literature and culture, with particular attention to Mexican, Peruvian, and Brazilian traditions, which she often approaches alongside the Indigenous languages, cosmovisions, communities, and intellectual traditions of Mesoamerican, Andean, and Amazonian worlds.

Apart from academics, she writes fiction that often brings together historical and environmental fiction, surrealism, magical realism, speculative fiction, and the gothic. Her work has appeared in Poetries in English Magazine and in her undergraduate arts journal. She also works in painting and drawing, and has recently become increasingly drawn to photography.

In her free time, she loves reading, writing, listening to music, watching films, dancing, and, above all, spending as much time in nature as possible through hiking, backpacking, and camping.

This website serves as a digital space for her academic and artistic work, as well as a space for reflections, ideas, and occasional posts.
