Artist bio

I am a Grand Rapids born artist that works primarily in pen and ink, but lately has been venturing into the world of sculpture. I graduated from Grand Valley State University in which I received my BFA with an emphasis in illustration. I enjoy collecting bugs, books, and buttons, adore alliteration, and miss getting my knees muddy, so I've recently taken up gardening.

Currently I'm working on designing more sculptures, more four foot drawings, and writing children books. Check it out: christinamrozik.carbonmade.com

It was nice to meet you.
About the work
Title: Symbiosis

Art form: 2-D

Medium: Pen, Ink, and Watercolor

Year created: 2010

Description of work: This is a series of drawings about the symbiotic relationships between beings and thier environments. Covering ideas about nesting, hunting, and mating, a variety of animas are drawn in narrative form, depicting scenes of their survival.

Each animal not only tells a story about thier own situation but also represents human tendancies and human struggles. Animal representations allow these works to be understood across the lines of age, race, gender and culture. My hope is that each individual viewing my work will be able to bring their own experience to the stories that I have set up.
