“Familiar Strangers” Artists open up about their work and inspirations (pt. 2)

“For me planning and seeing the piece come together at the end is exciting, but I love when I am in the process of implementing my idea and think of something new to add or a skill/technique and getting to learn and try new hands-on techniques. This would be realizing painting a door wasn't enough and that I wanted to etch into the wood and permanently alter what I was making,” says Schaub.

“Familiar Strangers” Artists open up about their work and inspirations (pt. 1)

Thoughts on Topographic Impressions

“Malis has decided to use his work to instead highlight the walls instead of hanging something over top of them. The prints fade in and out of various shades of gray.
