ABOUT SKUISHI PRESS
SKUISHI PRESS
My name is Susan Ely Gonzalez, "Skuishi." I graduated from The University of Texas at El Paso with a Bachelor's in Art with a Double concentration in Printmaking and Graphic Design and a Minor in Museum Art Studies. My career is primarily focused on printmaking. I have been in the art culture for ten years. My works have been inspired differently throughout the years. I mainly enjoy creating series about Mexican holidays, traditional Mexican Folkloric dances, personal experiences, dreams, and personal observations. I have participated in many shows locally, nationally, and internationally.
​
The techniques I use in printmaking are relief with linoleum and wood, etching, water-less lithography, and stencils. I am proficient in many Adobe programs for graphic design, where I create logos, posters, and stationary. But! I enjoy working with all types of art, practicing my drawing skills with several mediums (pencil, charcoal, chalk, and white pencil), line work, high contrasts, and scratchboard.
​
Skuishi Press is my printmaking studio and art business where I can continue creating my works of art and inspire others to follow their dreams, create art, represent the borderland community, represent their culture, and, most importantly, a way to express themselves.
