Petals & Wings

A SERIES OF LIFE INSPIRED LINOLEUM CUTS

Samira Gdisis is a printmaker, interdisciplinary artist, community builder, and curator from Racine, Wisconsin. She loves making art — sometimes fun and sometimes serious — often as a means of documenting life around her or the history of the people in her life. Color, flora, fashion, and figures fill her work.

Despite being an interdisciplinary artist who loves color, she returns to linoleum printmaking often to interpret the stories, people, flora, and animals in her world.

In Petals & Wings each piece has an element that is intimate and intrinsically personal and yet the imagery is relatable. “In other collections, I often do not focus on pretty work. Petals and Wings, however, is meant to be lived with. I hope these pieces share wonder and emotion, composition, and contrast in a way that relates to the viewers.”
