S.V. Medaris has been exhibiting her work professionally since 2004 with her debut of A One Chick Show<\/em><\/strong>, featuring a 20ft painting The Return of Big Tiny<\/em><\/strong>, now hanging in the Training Center on the Epic Systems campus.<\/p>\n

For Medaris, the purpose of making the artwork is to educate about the different species and breeds (dogs, cats, chickens, peafowl, turkeys, and pigs she has raised on this farm in the Driftless area of Wisconsin since 1998), often exposing the drama and\/or humor inherent in raising the various livestock for meat or as pets.<\/p>\n

Over a dozen solo shows in 17 years\u2014recently MOWA (Museum of Wisconsin Art), James Watrous Gallery\u2014focus on themes of domestic animal husbandry, the relationships we have with livestock and they with each other, and their unique characteristics.<\/p>\n

Medaris has been represented since 2005 by Abel Contemporary<\/a> in Stoughton, WI. An MFA in 2011 at UW-Madison in printmaking allowed her to add block prints as storytelling vehicles alongside the oils. Artworks are in numerous public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad including Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Museum of Wisconsin Art, Epic Systems Corporation, Denver Art Museum and UW Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n

Possum Defensive<\/em> is a 5ft x 5ft, hand-colored woodblock print, available, framed at Abel Contemporary. Entering the coop before dusk, a hungry possum had just killed a chicken. He is exhibiting a defensive pose, trying to look as scary and formidable as possible (growling, mouth wide to show all the sharp teeth, and drooling excessively) to hopefully frighten away this approaching human.<\/p>\n
