Artist statement: Grace Otzwirk (she/her) often focuses on using paintings, drawings, and relief prints to express her emotions, thoughts, and observations. Born in rural Illinois, the inspiration of; open skies, changing seasons, a conservative upbringing, folklore and fairytales, garden details, agricultural architecture, observations of being a cis woman, friendships, and pain, are constant in her mind when she is making. Her drawings and prints are tighter, fine lined works with thoughtful and researched subjects. Her paintings are often experimental and playful, allowing her to pull away from a stricter process and be surprised by the outcome.
