Kimberly Weiss

September- December 2010
Corner of Howell St & Clarence st

Out with the old amazingness of Alyssa Schulte & In with the new awesomeness of Kimberly Weiss. Last week over at the shop the boys took down Alyssa's mural & installed our new Fall 2010 Temporary Mural created by Milwaukee artist Kimberly Weiss.

Out with the amazing old. In with the Amazing new.

The new mural is composed of linoleum block prints on rice paper that have been individually cut-out and pasted on the wood surface.

About our new Temporary Mural artist:
Kim Weiss came to Milwaukee from Kansas City in 2000 to earn a BFA in printmaking from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, graduating in 2004. She currently co-manages the community printshop at RedLine Milwaukee- instructing printmaking classes and workshops and coordinating the open studio program. Kim has shown work locally and nationally and works as a display artist for the women's retailer Anthropologie. Kim's primary focus is on using relief printmaking and screen printing to explore obsessive process, repetition, and create vibrant, and often overwhelming images of subjects from the natural world.
