Allie Rigby
Allie Rigby is a San Francisco Bay Area poet and letterpress artist whose writing explores mental health, connections to land, and purpose. She joined the NBLA in 2021 while finishing her MA in English: Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. While most comfortable identifying as a poet, Allie began embracing letterpress as one way to render the intangible tangible. She loves the tactile nature and mechanics of working in a studio, with fired-up studio printers sharing their caffeinated thoughts with each other.
In three words, Allie's art can be described as crisp, earthy, and conversational.
