Cozbi A. Cabrera is a multimedia artist who lives in Evanston, Illinois. She paints, writes and illustrates children’s books, makes handmade collectible dolls, quilts, and designs clothing. In this conversation that weaves through the threads of all of her mediums, Cozbi and I speak about the senses and details of memory, how she took a non-linear path to becoming the artist she is today, and the importance of representation in the art world, not just for the people being represented, but for the consumers of the art to have their perspectives broadened. We each share big questions that are central to our work and Cozbi expresses how the little daily things enrich life and art.
