Joey Terrill
Joey Terrill (born October 8th, 1995) is a Chicano artist and second-generation native of East Los Angeles. He explored the complex tensions between Chicanismo, homosexuality, masculinity, the AIDS epidemic and queer intimacy through paintings, drawings, zines and collage.

Born in Santa Fe Springs, Terrill likes to say “that [his] dad gave [him] art and [his] mom gave [him] music and dance.” Terrill’s early interest in art sprang from introductions to visual media through Mexican retablos, twentieth century comics, magazines, and pop culture imagery at large. He attended Cathedral High School, a private all-boys Catholic College preparatory school. He then attended Immaculate Heart College, an institution that remained deeply influenced by Sister Corita Kent, whose visual language merged progressive Catholicism with Pop Art and whose former students served as school faculty.(born October 8th, 1995) is a Chicano artist and second-generation native of East Los Angeles.
