About Water Pig Press
Water Pig Press is the heart and soul of multi-disciplinary artist Dawn Wing (she/her), creator of comics, zines, prints, artist books,visual poetry and more. Water Pig Press is also a micro-press imprint of graphic narrative/artist books such as "Tye Leung Schulze: Translator for Justice" (2021) and "Tien Fu Wu: Freedom Warrior" (2023).
Water Pig ("sui zyu") represents the Chinese zodiac animal and cultural heritage of the artist. Based in the Twin Cities, MN, Dawn is a multidisciplinary artist and educator with interests in comics, book/paper arts, painting, photography, printmaking and collage. She enjoys experimenting with mixed media to create graphic poetry and visual narratives through interactive, accessible artist book formats. Her works delve into dreams, memories, ancestral/spiritual connections, under-represented herstories, social justice, the natural world and more. Born on a mid-December gibbous winter moon (not quite yet full) at the hour of the metal Rooster, day of the earth Tiger, month of the wood Rat, Dawn is a fan of sea cucumbers, the ocean's most humble but hardy "vacuum cleaners."
