She made Magic People for the Museum Ambassadors, a group of Cleveland-area high-school students-teenagers who are exposed to the museum environment to encourage an ongoing relationship with the arts in their communities.Catlett has been working for six decades as a printmaker and sculptor. She produces compassionate, heroic images of ordinary people, rendered in a style of simplified realism, which celebrate her African-American identity as well as her adopted Mexican homeland. Catlett went to Mexico in 1946 to work at the printmaking workshop Taller de Gráfica Popular (People's Art Workshop). While there, she met her husband, artist Francisco Mora.A retrospective exhibition of her work, Elizabeth Catlett: Prints and Sculpture, will be on view September 15, 2002, through January 5, 2003, in galleries 241/242.
