Gloria Martinez-Granados is a Phoenix, Arizona based artist. Born in Guanajuato, Mexico she migrated to the United States of America with her family at 8 years old. Gloria is an interdisciplinary artist creating with indigenous practices, adding a contemporary approach by including printmaking, assemblage, installation and performance to the more traditional arts of beadwork, stitching and weaving. Through this process, she develops themes around identity, dreams, place, home and land. This merges with her experience growing up undocumented in the United States and the legal limbo she lives day to day as a DACAmented person.
Martinez-Granados is a former member of the all women craft collective The Phoenix Fridas. In 2019 she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking from Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. Gloria is an award recipient of the 40th Annual Environmental Excellence Award, Valle Del Sol’s 2022 Profiles of Success honoree and she received the Sally and Richard Lehmann Emerging Artists Award. She has exhibited throughout the United States, most recently in Georgia at Atlanta Contemporary and Indiana at Herron School of Art and Design. Her work is currently exhibiting at Phoenix Art Museum as part of “The Collection: 1960 - Now”. |
