New Artist Book Spotlight
Introducing Our Newest Book Artist—Alicia McKim
We are very excited to introduce a new book artist to the gallery roster, Alicia McKim of Denver, Colorado. McKim has worked as a studio and book artist for over twenty-five years. She explores visual language and memory collecting, consciously blending art and mass culture, creating work that we can all relate to in many ways. McKim is a traditionalist in process, yet often unorthodox and experimental at the same time.
Alicia's latest artist book, Greetings from California exemplifies this beautifully. The structure of the book is a carousel book, an amazing structure for visual story telling. Using images from vintage California postcards, the reader is transported to the “Golden State.” You will definitely let out a sigh, long for palm trees and sun, and yearn for days gone by when life seemed a little simpler.
Alicia holds a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the University of Colorado. Her work is exhibited and sold internationally and is found in such collections as the Getty Research Institute, L.A., the Printing and Graphic Arts Collection, Harvard University, and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Alicia is an instructor at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver, Colorado where she teaches typography and book arts.
