Elisabeth Vasquez Hein is a Filipina American writer and photographic artist based in Seattle. Daughter of an immigrant, mother of a mixed-race child, and influenced by her upbringing in disparate geographies, Elisabeth’s work explores migration, in-betweenness, and belonging.

She is a graduate of the Fine Art Photography certificate program at Photographic Center Northwest, where she exhibited her thesis project “In Skin and Spirit | Sa Balat at Espiritu” in 2019. Elisabeth has shared her work reflecting on mixed-race identity and cultural inheritance in artist talks and readings with the Photographic Center Northwest, the Richard Hugo House, Japanese Americans Citizen League, and Coffee & Grief. Her literary work has been supported by Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, Dorland Mountain Arts, the Whiteley Center, Sou'Wester Arts, and The Seventh Wave Narrative Shifts Digital Residency. Elisabeth holds a Master’s degree in Latin American Studies from the University of New Mexico. Her work in community-based organizations has focused on education, language, and marginalized populations in Washington State, Texas, Chile, and Peru. http://elisabethvasquezhein.com/links daily 0.75 2025-10-23
