Glo Ramirez is a Puerto Rican artist and guest of Lingít Aaní for the last six years, where she has been regularly exhibiting her illustrated monster creations. She describes her style by saying “I make cute but cool stuff.” Her latest show opens this First Friday at the Alaska Robotics Gallery. Ramirez sits down with Sheli DeLaney to discuss art and more on this episode of Juneau Afternoon.
