Framed Art Piece (Donated by Gustavo Muniz)
Gustavo Muñiz is a woodblock printmaker who was born in California but grew up in southern New Mexico. After he graduated from New Mexico State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, began exhibiting at several juried art fairs (most notably a six-year stint with the Contemparary Hispanic Market in Santa Fe). Gustavo moved to Los Angeles in 1998, and even though he has made his livelihood working as a graphic designer since 1995, he has participated in several group, as well as solo, art exhibitions.

“I want to make images that people can not only easily understand for their face value, but can also be read further by someone who can identify with the image on a personal level. I want my work to have a very hands-on and organic feel as a means of paying homage to work done with a person’s own hands. In a time when most things that we do are based on convenience, I think that the value of hand-done work has diminished. My intention is to regain and glorify that value and aesthetic.”
