Lucia Hierro (b. 1987) is a Dominican American conceptual artist born and raised in New York City, Washington Heights/Inwood, and currently based in the South Bronx.

Hierro’s work was on view recently in the permanent collection exhibition Tender Loving Care: Contemporary Art from the Collection at the MFA Boston.
In October 2024, Hierro collaborated with Hermès and Petit h to re-envision their windows and in-store scenography for the Madison Avenue flagship store. Read more about the Hermes Maison project on artnet.com.
