Reinaldo Gil Zambrano, M.F.A.

Reinaldo Gil Zambrano is an award-winning printmaking artist based in Spokane, WA from Caracas, Venezuela. From an early age, RGZ began collecting unique stories from random social encounters that highlight the common aspects of the human identity that later enriched the visual narratives of his drawings, relief prints, installations, and murals.

His desire to promote the printmaking practice has guided him towards the development of projects such as “First Vandal Steam Roller Project”, “The Ink Rally”, projects where large carved pieces were printed on fabric using an asphalt roller and the help of many printmaking enthusiasts. RGZ has been collaborating with local non-profits in the development of the Spokane Print Fest a venue that celebrates all things print-related where local universities, students, artists, instructors, and professors offered live printing demos and exhibited artwork in the pursue of promoting accessible printmaking to the rest of the community.

Reinaldo is currently an assistant professor of Printmaking at Gonzaga University as well as an artist member at the Saranac Art Projects, Co-founder of the Spokane Print & Publishing Center, Art Commissioner for the state of Washington, and Spanish host of the printmaking podcast: HELLO PRINT FRIEND
