Delivering intimate explorations of the human condition through drawing and printmaking, the exhibition Fresh Steele, by area talent Priscilla Steele, enjoys a showcase at Dubuque's Voices Studios April 4 through May 31, with the artist present for an opening celebration on April 4.

Priscilla Steele’s latest collection of drawings and prints delves deep into the fundamental aspects of the human experience. With a passionate exploration of the personal and the universal, Steele uses her work as a way to express both beauty and complexity. As she notes in her artist statement, “Drawing and printmaking are my chosen tools for exploring the most basic aspects of being human.” Steele’s work is a reflection on the continuous pursuit of meaning, deeply influenced by the words of poet Wendell Berry, and her pieces invite viewers to ponder the balance between personal expression and universal connection.

Fresh Steele offers a compelling look at Steele’s evolving artistic journey, where she continuously strives for “wholeness” and resonates with the intricacies of life. This exhibition presents a unique opportunity for viewers to witness the beauty and complexity of the world through the eyes of a dedicated artist specializing in drawing and printmaking. Her works have been displayed in numerous galleries and have garnered recognition for their depth, thoughtfulness, and ability to connect personal expression with universal themes.
