Lucia Garzón is a Queer Colombian Italian American Artist currently living and working In Philadelphia, PA. Born in 1996 Allentown, PA, they received their B.F.A. Printmaking, Tyler School Of Art, Philadelphia, PA (2018)

When asked about their passions, Garzón says this:

"I’m passionate about sharing stories about my family and how that connects to larger ideas of immigration, class, and labor. Exploring what it means to be an immigrant in this country can mean so many different things and I enjoy making work that reveals what that has looked like for my family and for me as an artist. My practice often consists of a lot of repetitive and technical hands-on work which directly relates to my family’s occupations as woodworkers, chefs, and janitors. It is important for me to make accessible work that expresses familial notions of love, struggle, and sacrifice."
