"Bi·o·ta: The animal and plant life of a particular region, habitat, or geological period."

BIOTA is a printmaking exhibition by Madeline E. Goolie (MEG) that depicts animal and plant life of the Pacific Northwest. Through her unique carving techniques, MEG’s multi-block relief prints bring life and movement into her work.

Madeline Eileen Goolie, known as MEG, is an Alaskan born printmaking and multimedia artist. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Washington State University with a focus on relief printmaking. Her practice grows naturally out of her time spent in the wilderness of the Alaskan coast where she has had many encounters with the numerous animal inhabitants of the region. Her recent work explores themes of memory, loss, and familial connections through symbolic animal imagery. Madeline actively showcases her work at galleries, fairs, and artist markets throughout the Inland / Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
