Stavy Prints

I am a curator by day and printmaker by night, in my 30s. I have a profound interest in the imperfect, oddities, the nuances of life, and weird stuff. From crumbling buildings, peeling paint revealing years of layers, smudges, the darkness, asymmetry, and even the uncanny—what beauty can be found here, too. The inspiration for my work ranges from what goes bump in the night to everyday experiences, history, dark whimsy, and even beloved objects I own. My work is small-midsized linoleum prints. All designs are original and all prints are printed at my home studio. Subject matter ranges from symbols I have seen in Chicago cemeteries, to vampires, pansies, and even everyday objects like the moka pot. A little something for everyone. Printing at home is a labor of love, and no two prints are the exactly the same.
