Margot Apricot (she/her)
Printmaking Artist

Margot Apricot is a Trans femme anarchist, printmaker, and art educator from SLC, UT. She uses her work primarily as a vehicle to empower marginalized communities, and to draw attention to the fallacies contained in the so-called “American Dream”. A decade spent as a printmaker has made Apricot a staple artist in her home community as well as having her art reach across the so-called United States. Margot is passionate about education, and the power of print in its many forms, and hopes in her time as an Access resident to share her love of printmaking with our community.
