This Milwaukee-based artist is known nationally and internationally for her meticulous draftsmanship, keen observation and intimate understanding of the natural world. For this exhibition, she has produced graphics and artists’ books unified by the subject matter of insects.
Poehlmann’s career recognition has been based on her early work in which she created detailed drawings, in pencil or silverpoint and watercolor, of a variety of floral and animal subjects. She began to make comments on life and also on the world of art by incorporating visual references to famous works of art, which she appropriated for use in her compositions by using color reproductions and color Xerox.
