Amy Woodside understands that words and images hold incredible power, and the marriage of these just happens to be her specialty. Paying homage to pop artists of the past with her mixed media canvases and flawless screen prints, Woodside shows that it only takes a little context to invite a large and effective reaction. Her wordplay, poetry, and type all demand a second glance.

Whether it's the message that catches your eye, or its form, Woodside shows that both are worth exploring. Hopefully by browsing through Woodside's work, we too can begin to understand not only great aesthetics, but the power of juxtaposing words and images.
