Autumn Hymn | Gouache on Clay

Caitlin PishaAutumn HymnGouache on Clay6" x 8"Part of the Becoming Whole body of workThis collection of art grew from my fascination with folk art. I wanted to develop a body of work that referenced folk traditions while leaning into whimsy and story. In today’s world, at times it feels a little subversive to be whimsical or hopeful. But, I feel that we need lightness like we need laughter. My aim became to create a visual world that could be the setting for a storybook. A body of work that evoked the feeling of old folk tales while also feeling fresh and new. About the ArtistCaitlin Pisha is a Sioux Falls-based mixed media artist and designer.
