McKayla Mae Bensheimer’s work engages mood and color with time, place, and the connection of humanity with the built and natural world.
Bensheimer uses a variety of printmaking methods including monotype, woodcut, and intaglio to create scenes that evoke a mood and capture her experience of a place. Her work is rooted in film and street photography and both are a part of her process and sources of inspiration.
Bensheimer’s current work dives deep into color harmony and the different forms of printmaking to express the world around her. She explores scenes of quiet domesticity as well as views of the streets and buildings she comes across. Bensheimer seeks to imbue a sense of sadness, nostalgia, and longing. She is interested in our connection with time and its constant presence in our lives.
Bensheimer graduated from Herron School of Art and Design with her BFA in Sculpture and is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Connecticut.
She has shown her work in the US and UK. She has exhibited at the William Benton Museum of Art, The Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Gallery, and the 808 Gallery of Boston University, among others.
