My name is Tressa Gonzalez, but my artist name is SmittenKittenTx and I am based out of San Antonio, Texas. I work in numerous mediums such as relief printing with linoleum and wood, spray paint / stencil, as well as 3-d sculpting, woodworking and doll making. My works are heavily inspired by my upbringing along the US / Mexico border, socio-economic issues, indigenous identity and culture, environmental issues, animals rights, and veganism. My work has been featured in multiple galleries and projects all over the U.S., including current work at the A05 gallery in Austin, Texas, BlkWhtGry (San Antonio), Secret Gallery (Albuquerque), Munzon Gallery (Long Beach), Time before Death (New Orleans), Red Truck Gallery (New Orleans), Eastside Print Fair (Los Angeles), ZineMercado (Chicago), and Oso Bay Biennial Print Festival(Corpus Christi).
