Uprise Art featured works from three female artists: Xochi Solis, Katrine Hildebrandt-Hussey, and Leigh Wells. Solis' and Wells' collages offered a muted-yet-texturally rich compositions that combined found materials and hand-painted elements; Hildebrandt-Hussey's large-scale works featured a volatile process of burning paper. A special mural project by Adam Frezza and Terri Chiao brightened the second floor of the fair.

  • Katrine Hildebrandt-HusseyBoston, MA

    Katrine Hildebrandt-Hussey (b. 1982) is a Boston-based visual artist whose work is inspired by sacred geometry and the metaphysical mapping of space and time. Katrine achieves the geometric patterns in her work by burning her paper surface, allowing for chance to influence her ordered forms. Marked with intentionality and meticulous detail, Katrine’s work investigates the correlation between chaos and order, permanence and transience, and the interconnectivity of the universe.

  • Xochi SolisAustin, TX

    Xochi Solis (b. 1981) is an Austin, Texas-based mixed media artist. Her works include collaged paintings that explore color, texture, and shape through paint, collected paper ephemera, hand-dyed and marbled paper, plastics, and found images from books and magazines. Through a practiced process of layering materials, incorporating the visual depth and illusions of photographic surfaces, Xochi reflects on the visual complexities in her environment, both natural and cultural. Her work communicates a nuanced narrative about time, place, and sensation while grappling with how to represent an environment where her heritage, body, and dreams for the future co-exist.
