Instructor Bio

Janine Delgado

In past years I have focused mainly on figurative art with an emphasis on portraiture. More recently, I have been enjoying printmaking and have gained experience in Serigraphy, Stone Lithography, and Risograph techniques. My work also includes the use of textiles and fiber art, and I like to experiment and combine mediums, often screen printing on fabrics. Many of my recent works have an emphasis on examining different cultural influences and the role they have played in forming my identity. I often create bright or colorful works based on nostalgia, with references to personal history and various moments in pop culture.
