MAGGIE LYNN NEGRETE

A SWPA native & Vassar College alum, I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer specializing in illustration, zines, and hand-lettering. My work explores femininity, community, and the occult with aesthetics influenced by 19/20th century illustration, psychedelia, and my heritage of printers. An important part of my practice is as an educator, focusing on elevating youth voices and promoting civic engagement through zines, drawing skills, and typography.

Currently, I am a freelance teaching artist having worked as the Education Coordinator at the Brashear Association as well as providing programming for MGR Youth Empowerment, Neu Kirche and many other Pittsburgh based institutions. Additionally, I have coordinated events for the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council and sit on the organizing board of the Pgh Zine Fair.
