Linda Monsiváis Hernández has been making art in San Antonio for over a decade. She was born in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, México and raised in Eagle Pass, TX, going back and forth between the two when the only barrier was the Rio Grande.

She grew an interest in punk as a teen and took on sewing and jewelry making to create fashion not accessible to her. She made pieces from drink tabs for herself and continues making jewelry from aluminum cans to this day.

Her love for punk and community prompted her to start illustrating, creating promotional posters for music shows, fundraisers, and skill shares. Her work centers the working class and delivers messages of resistance, equity, and climate justice.
