Lisa Lofgren

Preparing for public lecture in Sterling, CO with helper baby Ava, 2018.

an artist and educator fostering creativity and diversity in the arts as founder of Together Press, a community printmaking and papermaking facility in coordination with cometogetherstudios in Bloomington, Illinois.

Lofgren looks to highlight the instances of discovery and moments of recognition through emotive, visual abstractions, allowing herself to get lost in the evolving subtleties of the print and the process. The resulting works, often inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, are translations of landscape, textures, body, and diagrams that reveal a presence of something more, an accumulation of knowledge, both unifying and honest.
