Ashley Quick : Print Making and Illustration

Artist Statement:

I am a visual artist based in Laramie, Wyoming working primarily in printmaking, illustration, and public art. From the flicker of a jackrabbit disappearing into low grass, to the clouds of purple iris blooming along highway mediums, my pieces capture the visceral experiences of the landscape. I focus on moments of joy, celebration, and the resilience of the ecosystems that surround us.

More recently I use sculptural methods and public art to connect with the folklore and iconography of an individual ecosystem or community. I’m particularly drawn to methods that allow for the creation of multiples such as printmaking and laser cutting. This allows me to play with patterns and repetition, making each iteration more experimental and playful.
