Asenath Lizárraga (b. 1991) is a Peruvian American visual artist raised in Washington state, and currently based in Olympia, WA. Their multidisciplinary art practice and curiosity of the natural world led them to the Evergreen State College where they graduated with dual degrees, a BA and a BS. Asenath primarily works in printmaking and oil painting, using symbolism and detailed overlapping scenes to convey stories exploring cultural connections to nature, magic, ancestry, and dream spaces in between the surreal and reality. They’re passionate about creating art that captures the beauty of Latin American culture, and that emphasizes the many points of cultural unity that exist across this vast continent that they have ancestral ties to. They screen print using a self taught multi-layer process, hand making their own screens, and building their own printing presses and exposure units. At an artist residency in Mexico in 2024 at La Ceiba Gráfica they explored the process of stone lithography for the first time and produced a series of prints which has inspired them to start seeking more opportunities to pursue lithography and broaden their experience with various forms of printmaking.
