Artist's Statement

My art making is complicated with feuding passions. One limb is socially conscious narratives about bad-ass women, either mythical or American west.

The other limb fights for the scintillation of the observed; the beauty I see and interpret in a graphic response. More than a printmaker, or painter, I serve as an image maker, and I hope each time, for something remarkable.

I enjoy working in the studio at my press or easel, as well as teaching printmaking privately in my studio as well as at colleges and community workshops. (Contact me for further information about my classes. )

Biography

Ouida lives in Delta, Colorado after a short stay in Denver. She came to Colorado from a small New Mexican pueblo named Mesilla where she left behind a large garden with fruit trees and a historic adobe home. She is enjoying creating a new home and garden in a turn-of-the-century bungalow with space for a garden and a carriage house in the back, perfect for her generously lit studio.
