The Washington Printmakers Gallery current exhibition, Carving Color: West to East features woodblock prints by artist Jessie Nebraska Gifford.
The show runs July 1–July 25, 2021 and a reception sponsored by the Washington Print Foundation will be held July 10, 3:00-5:00 pm.
For more than six decades, Jessie Gifford’s myriad artistic styles reflected her Nebraska past, in landscapes, color choices, the ubiquity of cows represented in her work. But her creative expression has also been informed by her many, many years as a New Yorker, which gives her work a certain gritty exuberance, a uniqueness born from her surroundings, her quirky imagination, and the many challenging circumstances she wrangled with throughout her life.
