Serigraph
UND Art Collections: Art & Design Study Collection
Professor Emerita and former Chair of the UND Department of Art & Design, Jackie McElroy-Edwards created hundreds of surreal artworks that provide those who view her pieces a journey into the beauty of North Dakota. McElroy-Edwards’s screen-prints were a method of sharing what she and the people of North Dakota hold sacred – the iconic landscapes. After 30 years of service, over 300 of her works remain at the University.
McElroy-Edwards’s Dakota Suite takes multiple landscapes found within the Peace Garden State and illustrates them in comforting hues. Her color choices turn the Badlands and prairies of North Dakota into a unique and mesmerizing sight. These pieces work together to illustrate the beauty of our state.
Snow drifts (?) on green, blue, yellow, purple and white prairie rolling into pink and purple hills. Blur, purple and pink sky with feathered clouds.
