Originally from Germany, minu arrived in Wellington 3 years ago and stayed.

With a background in commercial design and architecture,

minu now works as an independent illustrator, toymaker and artist.

Her artwork ranges from traditional printmaking to mixed media and textile art.

I think this show is a series of drypoint intaglio prints,

but here is another image of the intriguing characters she illustrates:

 I love this image from her blog, it shows her playfulness,
layering images with stitching and other media.

I was just thinking how much I liked this artwork and then I read:

"Note a couple of weeks later: These totally did not work the way I imagined them.
They look totally wrong to me. I will work on the idea, but these will go in the bin."

If this is a 'reject' I wish I saw the rest that made it to the show!!!
