Angii Checco is a Denver-based artist working in graphite, ceramics, and large-scale chalk art. After earning BFA and MFA degrees in digital arts, she returned to Denver in 2018 and reconnected with material-based practices, focusing on drawing and ceramics.
Drawing serves as the foundation of her practice, becoming a means of exploring identity, intimacy, and belonging as a queer woman. As her work evolves, Angii is focused on viewing history and memory through a queer lens. Her work examines the ways women desire, remember, and see one another, seeking to recover sapphic narratives that have been overlooked, erased, or denied the opportunity to exist at all.
For more than seventeen years, Angii has been an active member of the chalk art community. What began as a collaborative project in high school has grown into an award-winning artistic practice with her collaborators, Misha Farris and Daniela Battaglioli.
