Elisabeth Vasquez Hein is a Filipina American writer and photographic artist based in Seattle, Washington. As the daughter of an immigrant and mother of a mixed-race child, her work is shaped by her upbringing in disparate geographies, exploring diaspora, in-betweenness, and belonging. She is an alumna of the PEN America Emerging Voices fellowship and CENTER’s Review Santa Fe. She has shared her work on cultural inheritance in readings and artist talks at the Photographic Center Northwest, Hugo House, the Japanese American Citizens League, and Coffee & Grief. Elisabeth’s work has been supported by the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, Dorland Mountain Arts, the Whiteley Center, Sou'Wester Arts, and The Seventh Wave. Her writing is featured in various literary journals and the forthcoming anthology Mixed Roots: Writers on Multiracial Identity & Both/And Belonging. She is a current MFA candidate in creative nonfiction at the Institute of American Indian Arts. photo credit: Lisa Ahlberg http://elisabethvasquezhein.com/writing daily 0.75 2026-06-12
