ACGUINA ART

Brand · Paper goods

hi there! I’m Angelique (she/her), a 1.5-gen Filipino-American illustrator and printmaker based out of the greater Seattle area. ACGUINA ART is a one-woman business (with lots of support from my partner) and a passion project of sorts, something that I created when I finally allowed myself to share my art while struggling with fear of failure. I began printmaking in 2018, with a primary focus on drypoint and monotype. 2020 required a form of printmaking that was more accessible in my home studio, and in the early days of the pandemic, I carved and printed some of my very first blocks, with messages of care that I sent out as snail mail to stay connected during quarantine. I quickly fell in love with the therapeutic and handmade nature of carving, and haven’t stopped since. My work has evolved since then, but continues to highlight themes of love, connection, and joyful silliness, often portraying florals/plants in addition to quirky creatures. I expanded to vinyl stickers to immortalize the block print designs I hold so dear, and recently started making sticker sheets!
