New Series added called Pop Girls!
I create large abstract paintings that are printed on paper through a traditional printing press. I begin each painting by drawing with a lithography crayon onto a large Plexiglas plate. Through the process of mixing the colors of inks, I create a rich color palette. When the artwork is complete the plate is placed on the bed of the press, a damped sheet of paper is placed on top of the plate, the felts are placed on top of the paper. I then run the print through the printing press. Most recently, I have been printing more in my home studio and simulating the pressure of the printing press by running the plate and paper over with my vehicle. I like the results I am getting. My kitchen table serves as a silkscreening studio. I create a silkscreened series of bra prints that bring together community with those who are drawn to them and share their story. I am so thrilled to be part of the fantastic artists community in Northeast Minneapolis and part of NEMAA. I enjoy my hometown community and it is those amazing people there including my family who have encouraged me to do what I LOVE.
