Featured Artist: Mac

“I love that Apoxie Sculpt is a buildable material as I can always add new layers as well as sand them down to achieve a smoothing effect which is prominent in my toy designs.”

Mac is Minnesotan based artist with a Bachelors of Science in Art Education from St. Cloud State University and a Masters of Fine Art from Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She is currently a K-12 Art Educator working in the Northwest Metro. Mac is an interdisciplinary artist who uses painting, sculpture, illustration and installation as modes of visual language throughout her work.

“I am an interdisciplinary artist who uses nostalgia and escapism as the overarching themes throughout my body of work. My work enables me a safe space to process, reflect, and tell the stories of comfortable and difficult narratives through a nostalgic lens. This provides not only a warm place for me to escape, express, and grow, but also the viewers of my work. I am constantly chasing that playful innocence that’s associated with being a kid, processing life. I grew up too fast from the world of make believe, and I am desperately trying to relearn how to play.

Apoxie Sculpt allows me to create the types of toys and figures I always wanted as a kid. It is durable and stable which is important to me when handling and displaying my artwork. I love that Apoxie Sculpt is a buildable material as I can always add new layers as well as sand them down to achieve a smoothing effect which is prominent in my toy designs. I have been using Apoxie Sculpt for years and will only be using it for future projects.”
