This month's Raiz Gallery exhibition is Desert Reverie, by local artist Olivia Yuen. @livmakesprints 'Desert Reverie' features collages originating from linocut misprints. By combining and reinterpreting the imagery in each print collage, new meaning is created from each composition. The collection also showcases original linocut printed works on paper that reflect the techniques involved in the craft. Olivia Yuen is a Phoenix-based artist, primarily creating block prints inspired by a variety of subject matter including botany, the Arizona desert, and her biracial heritage. In addition to her creative practice, Olivia is a middle school art teacher. Sharing her passion for the arts with others plays a significant role, and Olivia teaches linocut printmaking workshops locally in Phoenix. You can find her work available online via her website or locally at various markets and art retail locations across the valley.
