Background information about Magda Léon:

Magda Léon, a Guatemalan-born multidisciplinary artist currently residing in Providence, RI, specializes in printmaking, installation art, and social practice art. Leon graduated from the Community College of Rhode Island with an Associate's degree in Social Work in 2002 and earned her BA in Printmaking from Rhode Island College in 2021. In 2024, Leon received her MFA in 2D Fine Arts from MassArt. She discovered her love for creativity while drawing on her grandmother's kitchen floor as a child. Her work stems from a personal experience of living with a bicultural identity, which she cariñosamente refers to as 'De aquí y de allá' (From here and from there).
