About
Tess works primarily in printmaking, drawing and mixed media. Inspired by pop culture, personal idols, victims and everyday encounters, she creates an array of figurative and symbol heavy imagery. Her drawings and prints often contain bizarre narratives and pastiche. Tess is an artist consultant at Kinder HSPVA, instructing printmaking and drawing. Along with teaching, Tess belongs to Burning Bones Press, a community print shop in Houston, where she acts as Press Assistant, as well as leading workshops / events within the arts community. Her work has been shown throughout the Texas region and United States. She is an active member of PrintHouston & Los Angeles Printmaking Society. You can find her getting inky as a Speedball Demo. Artist, enlightening the masses to the art of printmaking!
