Niche Panel Discussion for PrintAustin

I’m, joining fellow queer printmakers Vanessa Adams, Maya Carey, Ruben Castillo, Amy Cousins, moderated by Veronica Ceci, on February 6, 2021 for a panel discussion as part of PrintAustin’s virtual printmaking conference.

Printmaking is a distinct community within the arts with its own lexicon, tools and character. Similarly, the Queer community also has its own vocabulary, equipment and spirit. When the two overlap, a remarkable niche is created. Niche is a panel discussion  that will explore that intersection as five Queer printmakers discuss how their unique identities have shaped their paths in art.
