TEACHING ARTIST:
Matthew Willie Garcia, a California native now based in Kansas City, MO. Matthew’s work transcends traditional print media working in screen printing, mokuhanga, projection-mapping, animation, and large-scale installations. Inspired by a blend of science, science fiction, and their queer identity, they explores these themes through color abstraction and nonrepresentational forms. Holding a B.F.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute and an M.F.A. from the University of Kansas, Matthew has earned acclaim regionally, notably exhibiting at the Nerman Contemporary Museum of Art, Des Moines Art Center and internationally in Japan and Spain. And most recently they served as the 2024/2025 Grant Wood Fellow at the University of Iowa.
