Alynn Guerra - Grand Rapids -- I use Block-printing as my main medium of expression, I love the aggressiveness of the black and white impressions from a block that was cut with a variety of knives and gauges. I was supposed to be a graphic designer, but things didn’t turn out that good for me in that area, and instead; I became a visual artist; which is almost the same thing anyway. I’m originally from Mexico city, I moved to Michigan in 2000 and have established my art doing in Grand Rapids, where I do business as Red Hydrant Press. Here I’m known for my black and white linocuts, for my Dia de los Muertos skeleton prints and for giving away prints on my birthday. I believe that art should be accessible to everyone who has the need for it.Red Hydrant Press in Grand Rapids.
