Paloma Núñez-Regueiro
I am a Latina printmaker currently living in Ann Arbor, Michigan; I am a resident artist at Ypsi Alloy Studios. I attended art college in Mexico, where I came face to face with printmaking during my first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa, Veracruz. In 1997, I transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology. I received the RIT International Scholarship Award, and the Mowris/Mulligan Scholarship Award, and I enrolled in the Fine Arts Program with a concentration in printmaking and painting. In 2000, I earned my BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
My work is closely related to my experiences of living abroad — the impermanence, the precarious construction of one’s present and even less of one’s future. It is about starting over with whatever is at hand, and about the rootlessness of the ones who move from place to place. Amongst the subjects that interest me are human migration, social visibility, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe and our dislocated relationship with it.
My artwork is shown and sold at local galleries, and in galleries in the Midwest. A collection of my prints recently became part of the Henry Ford Cancer Institute Art Collection. My latest in-print work, “Essays on Invisibility III” and “Momentary”, was published by The Hand Magazine (Issue 30, November 2020). I am also a printmaking instructor, and I teach at the Ann Arbor Art Center. I formerly taught at Hollander’s Book and Paper before the COVID-19 pandemic.
