Elise Simmons
Elise Simmons is working on their BFA at Minneapolis College of Art and Design as a printmaker who expands the cultural norms of printmaking into something further and complex by using different non-traditional materials, such as sculpture and textiles. They continue to expand their practice and merge materials into spaces that seem un-thought of. Elise has a wide range of interests when it comes to materials and art practices. Subconsciously they tend to focus on the unwanted and forgotten pieces of our everyday lives.
Elise has found a love for textures especially when it comes from paper, natural items and unnatural items. They’ve been focusing on being sustainable as much as they possibly can while having it benefit their art practices.
