About
Why this artist matters now
Roland Poska is an American mixed-media artist known for pioneering the integration of papermaking and printmaking into unified works. His practice bridges handmade paper casting with lithographic and relief printing techniques, treating each process as equally integral to the final form rather than supplementary. Based in Scotland, Poska taught at the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee and co-founded the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, establishing the Fishy Whale Press lithography studio to advance printmaking practice.
