A recent print that was chosen to be in the 2023 Contemporary Print show at Print Austin is focused on the Women's Emergency Brigade from the Flint Sit Down Strike of autoworkers in 1937. Much of my printmaking has been about social justice struggles that I have actually participated in throughout my life. Although I was not marching in 1937, I feel a strong connection to the women in this print and their proud armband-wearing crew.  A lot of my recent work seems to zero in on the swagger and unity of women that have stepped up in historic moments. While living in Chicago, I did a series of prints called More Welcome Homes about the wrongful convictions by Detective Reynaldo Guevara in Chicago and the women of Comite Exigimos Justicia that helped to free them. For the past year living in New Mexico, my printmaking has focused on the women who led the Empire Zinc Strike in 1950 in Hanover, New Mexico. Other recent prints relate to seed bank efforts now by women in the indigenous community here. I have studied printmaking in Mexico, and the woodcut style of street art there has also influenced my work. 

I have studied printmaking with a full scholarship at the Penland School of Crafts and a paid residency at the Women’s Studio Workshop as well as classes at Hyde Park Arts Center in Chicago and CNM in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Other past prints are part of the Center for Political Graphics international traveling show on police issues and also appear in the book Celebrate People’s History ( 2nd edition )
