I am Grechel.
Grechel Rosado is a Latina printmaker and illustrator based in the Providence metro area.
Born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, Grechel has lived most of her life in a juxtaposition between her Latin heritage and her American upbringing.
She is deeply inspired by the roots of her culture and how her lived experiences both influences and informs her artwork. Although she mainly focuses in the mediums of printmaking, Grechel is constantly expanding upon her disciplines and researching ways to blur the boundaries between them.
In 2020, Grechel graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration with a Printmaking minor. She is the first in her family to obtain one.
Grechel teaches Printmaking, Illustration, and Drawing and also she is also a proud member of Binch Press/Queer.Archive.Work, a cooperative Print and Design studio centering queer and bipoc artists in Providence.
She is the true definition of a powerhouse.
