Heather Benjamin graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2016 with a BFA in Printmaking. Benjamin began self-publishing zines and artist books of her drawings in 2009. Since then, she has maintained her bookmaking and self-publishing practices while simultaneously branching out into making larger scale drawings and paintings, as well as animating, working with ceramics and textiles. By alternating violence and sensuality in her art, Heather Benjamin defends a feminism where the woman's body is glorified in all its forms to better be demystified, reflecting her roots in punk and DIY culture. Her drawings are often self-portraits taking the shape of hybrid creatures.
