About — dio portfolio

Dio (they/them) is an artist, organizer, printmaker, and geographer currently living on occupied Dakota lands in so-called Minnesota. Their work is focused on community building and organizing through the arts in support of justice movements, and placemaking -- personally and collectively. When not drawing, you can find them drinking tea, picking up shiny objects from the ground, or marveling at brick buildings.
