The Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara is pleased to announce a new exhibition of prints by Meagan Stirling titled “Crack Shot.”

An opening reception with the artist will be held from 5-7 p.m. Friday, April 8, 2016, and all are welcome. The exhibition will continue through May 13, 2016.

Fascinated and inspired by American culture and the theme of safety, Stirling creates one-of-a kind prints using an amalgam of printmaking techniques including monotype, lithography and serigraphy.

Her compelling compositions, infused with echoes of pain and grief, layer and blend imagery derived from wind energy turbines, shooting range targets and her memories.

Stirling received her MFA in printmaking from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

She has taught art at Whitworth University, the Beijing International College and the University of Colorado Denver. Currently, Stirling is an assistant professor of art at Westmont College.
