ABOUT THE ARTIST

Priscilla vanLaarhoven is a printmaker and painter based in New York City. Her work can be found in the collection of Brooklyn College and with various private collectors. Her work is surrealist in nature, inspired by the still life paintings of the Dutch masters, Francisco Goya’s Los Capricho’s and cultivated by her natural sense of the absurd.

In her studio in Queens, established in 1995, Priscilla has created a body of traditionally printed works by developing a fusion of modern drawing techniques in combination with the photopolymer photogravure process. Archival quality limited editions are printed on BFK Rives, White 250g paper.
