Elisabeth Vasquez Hein

Elisabeth Vasquez Hein is a Filipina American writer and photographic artist based in Seattle, Washington. Influenced by her upbringing in disparate geographies, her work explores displacement, in-betweenness, and belonging. She has shared her work reflecting on mixed-race identity and cultural inheritance in artist talks and readings with the Photographic Center Northwest, the Richard Hugo House, Japanese Americans Citizen League, and Coffee & Grief. She holds a certificate in Fine Art Photography from PCNW, and a Master’s degree in Latin American Studies from the University of New Mexico. Her writing is featured in CRAFT, and is forthcoming in the Pinch.
