ARTISTS
BIOGRAPHY A native to Miami, Florida, Chitty has studied and sketched in museums and laboratories in the Philippines, Palau, Belize, Argentina, England, and throughout the United States. After graduating from Smith College with a self-designed major in fine art, biology and education, she studied printmaking at Zea Mays Printmaking and in New York City at The Lower East Side Printshop, ABC No Rio, and The Art Students League. In the spring of 2006, Chitty was an artist-in-residence at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology in Otis, Oregon. She is currently attending the Graduate Printmedia Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Chitty’s work tweaks traditional printmaking techniques to create quasi-scientific documents that are sculptural and interactive. |

VIEW I am deeply concerned about our relationship with the natural world. I have focused much of my energy on issues regarding over fishing temperature change, habitat destruction, diminishing biodiversity, and the importance of education. However, the absolute truth is that this concern comes from a place of utter and complete awe and wonder. I know how tiny I am, and from day to day, the events of the world pull at my interests. I am working to make art that calls attention to aspects of the natural world that we may overlook and to ask questions that may influence how we perceive ourselves and our environment. |
