ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kathy Aoki is an award-winning artist whose work can be found in the collections of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. She is the Lee and Seymour Graff Professor of Studio Art at the Department of Art and Art History at Santa Clara University, where she has taught digital arts and printmaking since 2003. Using twists of humor, Aoki’s work questions societal value systems that define gender roles, politics, and most recently, public monuments. She creates her narrative prints using relief, intaglio, and monotype methods, often combined with watercolor.
