I’ve been looking at my cohort, collaborator, and best pal Lisa Perrin’s work all school year, and love what she has created. We installed our MFA thesis exhibitions this week, and it was really incredible to see all of her work in one place, together for the first time.
Lisa’s work is informed by the humorous and strange world of Eastern European Jewish folk tales. While influenced by this facet of culture, she merely references it, and therefore allows a larger, more varied audience to enjoy her illustrations. She’s modernized the old world with interesting applications such as Yiddish sayings on postcards and tea towels.
The image above and directly below are actually silk scarves, and they are beautiful. I’m looking forward to her opening up her online shop this summer. If you are around Baltimore, be sure to check out her work in MICA’s Studio Center (first floor), up now!

These two images are tea towels!
