Chee Bravo was awarded a 2022 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. She is a printmaker and multimedia artist. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies, Chee-Bravo’s artistic work ranges from two-dimensional works in Printmaking and Painting, to three-dimensional bricolage, to multimedia and interactive installations. Her cumulative approach to her work reflects her traditional beginnings as a printmaker, her long career in graphic design, and her childhood growing up in the culturally diverse Caribbean islands before emigrating to the U.S. Learn more about Chee Bravo.

Please note that the July 25 meetup will be slightly different than  regular meetups. On July 25th we will have a presentation by Chee Bravo. Although there will be time for questions for the presenting artist, there will not be time for other artists to share their work.
