Kirbie Platero
Kirbie’s impressive reputation of art and activism she has thus far established is her young life inspired by her children and her mother. Kirbie has promoted vital awareness and education around issues regarding reproductive/family justice, substance abuse, sex education, domestic/sexual violence, incarceration, motherhood, and community resiliency. Her dynamic talent encompasses an impressive broad range of artistic mediums, extending from graffiti and street art to painted canvases, mixed media art, Photoshop, watercolor, colored pencil, and ink. Kirbie was one of the first featured artists at the grand opening on El Chante: Casa de Cultura in 2010. Since 2010, Kirbie has added to the collective from gallery assistant to in-house artist.
