Gustavo Muñiz is a woodcut printmaker who was born in Torrance, California, but grew up in Anthony, New Mexico. He attended public school in Anthony, and studied art in high school with printmaker Steve Edwards. He later graduated from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces where he studied printmaking under Spencer Fidler. Gustavo graduated from NMSU with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (focusing on graphic design and printmaking) with a minor in Spanish and began exhibiting at several juried art fairs (most notably a six-year stint with the Contemporary Hispanic Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico) and continued to work with Steve Edwards as an assistant and collaborator. Gustavo moved to Los Angeles in the late 90’s, and even though he has made his livelihood working as a graphic designer since 1995, he has participated in several group, as well as solo, art exhibitions in the southern New Mexico and southern California areas. Among the galleries have been New Mexico State University Art Gallery, National Hispanic Cultural Center of New Mexico, Albuquerque Museum, Self-Help Graphics, Casita del Pueblo, Avenue 50 Gallery, Cal Poly Pomona Student Center Gallery and others. After designing with La Opinión Newspaper for 10 years and teaching Illustrator and Photoshop at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchadising for 4 years, Gustavo went on to work as a Graphic Designer with First 5 LA for 12 years. Currently, he’s back in New Mexico printing and doing freelance graphic design.
