Kay Brown Art

Printmaker/Community Activist

I have been interested in printmaking for over 20 years. I specialize in techniques including linocut, woodcut, silkscreen, lithography and monoprint.

Professionally, besides graphic design, I serve as a dispute resolution mediator, legal researcher, fund raiser, grant writer, developed a line of home and fashion accessories, and Take-It-Or-Leave-It Luggage with my partner Benjamin Perez Gurule which we manufactured in East LA for over 5 years. I also served as one of the founding staff of the Hispanic Urban Center, a teacher re-training institution and the LAUSD Mexican American Education Commission.

Much of my Art Practice has been nurtured in community art centers such as THE INK PEOPLE (Eureka, CA), SELFHELP GRAPHICS & ART (East LA), and SPARC (Venice, CA) and I expect to offer the same opportunity to all community members - especially those thinking they could never do printmaking.

It is a joy to see people discover the artist within themselves.
