“I began creating these pieces that reflect my heritage, but also continuing to work on culture, identity, including the people around me as well. So I began to create pieces that reflect the many realities of people that live here in Yakima, in particular a lot of our farmworkers in this community.” - Christie Tirado, Yakima printmaker and educator
