Savannah Bustillo

Savannah Bustillo (she/her) is a queer, second generation, Colombian-American printmaker, bookmaker, and papermaker from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She combines making and anthropological investigation to explore spaces in the margins – where identities not easily reconciled are placed. She received a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis, with a concentration in printmaking and a second major in anthropology, and is completing her MA/MFA at the University of Iowa in printmaking starting Fall 2024. Her work has been shown throughout the US, including the Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM, the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis, The Morgan Conservatory of Papermaking, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Women’s Studio Workshop, Highpoint Center for Printmaking, and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, where she was just named as a semifinalist for the 2024 MCBA Prize. She is the recipient of the 2024 SGCI Emerging Printmaker Award. Her work is held in over 30 collections throughout the US, including Harvard University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, VCU, RISD, Emory University, and the Walker Art Center.
