A SWPA native & Vassar College alum, Maggie Negrete is a multidisciplinary artist and designer specializing in illustration, zines, and hand-lettering. Their work explores femininity, community, and the occult with aesthetics influenced by 19/20th century illustration, psychedelia and their heritage of printers. An important part of their practice is as an educator, focusing on elevating youth voices and promoting civic engagement through zines, storytelling, and typography. Additionally, Maggie is proud to be affiliated with the Pittsburgh Zine Fair, the Notwhite Collective and their former workplaces, the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, the Brashear Association and MGR Youth Empowerment.

“The inspiration­­ for my [work], it's about community building and how individual actions can create more societal change.”
