Nicole Mueller

Genie Castro
Genie is the studio director of SuperCharged Printmakers Studio. She is a screen printer that makes fun, pop art, quirky prints and big large monotype prints. She is currently really digging Smurfs!

Desirée Forgét
Desirée Forgét is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist based in Minnesota. She is a silversmith, with her own jewelry line, and has been a makeup artist working in print, film, and television for the last fifteen years. In creating her visual work, Desirée often explores whimsical and irreverent themes, with vibrant colors and playful subjects, often reflecting on current issues that hint at the serious while maintaining a carnivalesque sense of fun and the absurd.   

Surelle Schewe
Whether it is a biblical story, fairy tale or personal narrative - storytelling is intrinsic to Surelle’s artwork. Her paintings often depict women who are in the midst of navigating their stories, or re-writing them entirely. They are re-imagined as more than incapable children, or damsels in distress, the fairy-tale of the female experience, is represented by multifaceted character, and symbolism.

Crystal Shawn
This series of floral screen prints are an outlet to “create” whatever makes her smile and to forget the pressures often put on creatives in the professional setting. These prints serve as a reminder to embrace life as it is, today, now — in essence, to “stop and smell the flowers.”

Erin Leon
Erin is a printmaker, known for her large scale drawings she converts to screen prints and large intaglio prints. She hand-registers prints using multiple colors.
