Linoleum block print on paper. Michigan artist. Marian Short is a Michigan-based artist and writer, who began printmaking in 1999. The physical act of carving was a refreshing counterpoint to writing, while variations and happy accidents that sprang up in the journey from idea to finished print kept her hooked. The interplay of text and image in her quirky woodblock prints spring from a life-long enthusiasm for picture books. Her artwork has been included in group exhibits at the Ann Arbor Art Center, The CAID, Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, Art.Science.Gallery (Austin, TX), and the Chemical Heritage Foundation (Philadelphia, PA). She has been featured in solo exhibits at the University of Michigan Hospital{u2019}s Gifts of Art program: Seeking Delight, Creating Mayhem (2011) and Cakeasaurus: Scenes from a Picture Book (March - June 2017). Marian originally hails from the suburbs of Philadelphia, where she thrived in an art-filled house (painter/seamstress/calligraphist mother, photographer father and sister); she moved to the mitten in 1994.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Your Future Awaits submitted by Varshini on June 17, 2019, 11:44pm Sure, the message of this print might be good, but I think the art itself is quite childish and immature. That's just my opinion though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your Future Awaits submitted by c_zhang on June 18, 2019, 11:43pm I really like this style! It's visually appealing, and holds a good message.

Your Future Awaits submitted by i'm a blobfish on June 24, 2019, 11:20am Takes a funny spin on an important message. The colors are a little out there but the birdy looks so funny with his stupid hair.

Your Future Awaits submitted by JY 2005 on June 25, 2019, 9:03pm This is an interesting print. There is a lot going on in this print and the colors are very vibrant.
