CURRENT ISSUE--Issue #17, Spring/Summer 2022:
About our issue 17 artist:

ELVIA PERRIN’s work ties abstract imagery, geometric lines, and clean-cut
shapes to balance the femininity and masculinity of process and print. She
balances making, collage, and structured form using the female approach to
construct work that exhibits the banal of formalism, finds order in the layering
textures and traces of patterns with a quiet minimalist approach. Elvia received
her MFA from University of North Texas at Denton in 2002. She has taught
printmaking and foundation courses for over a decade. She is a Lecturer of Art at
Texas State University and co-founder/former Executive Director of PrintAustin, a
city-wide contemporary print event. She has collaborated with Pottery Barn, Crate
and Barrel, and TRNK, NY and has shown nationally and internationally. She is
represented by Wally Workman Gallery and Roan and Black Gallery and lives in
Austin, Texas.
