Profile
Ayemurs (aim-ers) is a printmaker located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has been working with various art forms throughout her life, and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico in 2016 where she focused in printmaking. Her initial attraction to print was the multiplication process and being able to produce multiple originals quickly. She began her print journey with intaglio techniques but quickly shifted into lithography while attending UNM. She currently creates work in her home studio in mostly linoleum relief printing, and some photo polymer lithography. Her work is heavily influenced by mythological or legendary creatures, pop culture and street art culture. She strongly believes that people should have constant and affordable access to art, and produces mainly open editions or prints on up-cycled textiles so that others in her community can obtain artwork easily. When she is not creating work in her personal practice, she is a teaching artist with several non-profit groups, providing printmaking classes to all ages around her community. Her goal for education is to create space and community for any individual to participate in the world of print, no matter their skill or education level. She is also a full time licensed permanent cosmetic artist, esthetician and nail technician where she uses her artistry to provide high end services to a large clientele.
