Michelle Riestra (b. 1998, Zapopan, Jalisco, México) is a Mexican artist and art conservator currently based in Memphis, Tennessee, where she is pursuing an MFA in Printmaking and Photography at the University of Memphis.

Her practice explores memory, place, and the passage of time through printmaking. Working across woodcut, monotype, intaglio, screenprinting, and mixed-technique installation, she investigates how images and experiences transform through repetition and translation, how a memory changes each time it is recalled, how a print changes each time it passes through a process. Natural dyes, particularly cochineal, and conservation-grade materials such as Japanese paper are central to her work, carrying histories of cultural resilience and impermanence.
