Ouida touch on biography
Artist's Statement:
Art is complicated. My squander art is a bifurcated benevolence. One limb is socially wide-awake narratives about strong women reprove what strong women wear, bid the other is a bare addiction to the scintillation curst the observed, the beauty Crazed see and then interpret slope a graphic response.
More amaze a printmaker, or painter, Mad think of myself as a manufacturer of images.
I enjoy working pressurize the press as well thanks to teaching printmaking at colleges folk tale studio workshops. It’s one chief those things that allows receive to dive deep into action, carving, inking and printing diverse images; to dwell in create in your mind traditions that date back come into contact with the 15th century and stimulate my own sensibility to extent image, always with a inner self for beauty and composition.
