Artist Statement
Through the past few years, I’ve utilized printmaking as a chance to create different stories through the smallest shifts of color and imagery.
Through the possibilities of multiples, I create variations where I experiment, layer images, and push for more whimsical atmospheres.
My work has always highlighted the beauty, sweetness, and presence of animals in our world. Creatures that may be taken for granted or counted just as a number, my work focuses on how each has its own personality.
I recently began to consider what if our creatures were nothing what we knew. With humor and my love for puns, I hope you’ll enjoy my newest work
I’d like to welcome you to a world beyond our sight. These pieces have been found from world where “Queen Snail” rules, the “Goosebees” fly about, and “Cat-erpillars” sneakily dwell.
The artwork is for sale. Please contact Maria Victoria at 447-5030 or Jean Geisel at 797-3212 to make an appointment.
