Lex  is a cut-paper artist, poster maker, illustrator, activist, and organizer. Often portrayed with a dash of irony and a smattering of sarcasm, Lex’s creative focus is heavily informed by social justice/practice/responsibility, transgressive politics, and self sufficiency in/critical investigation of the queer diaspora. Lex is co-founder of Aorta Magazine: for/by/about women and queers in the arts, resident artist at Million Fishes Arts Collective, and proprietor Argot Printshop, with prints that benefit radical, social justice, and community oriented projects and organizations. For the past several years, Lex has focused their energy on creating free, accessible, community focused queer art events, acting as a key organizer for the Mission Queer History walking tour in 2010, Bring Your Own Queer/BYOQ: a free art & music festival in 2009 and 2010, and Dirtstar 2011 in conjunction with the National Queer Arts Festival and Luggage Store Gallery/Tenderloin National Forest. In July 2011, Lex was awarded a residency at Signal Fire Arts in the Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon. Lex is currently involved in planning and programming for the NQAF2012 and acting as support for a collaborative workshop series centered on art and social equity with Larkin Street Youth Services.
