In our collaborative printmaking practice, my sister and I use our own folklore and myths, creating images that tilt between the familiar and the fantastical. Like visual storytellers in a land of our own making, we weave together imagery through screen printing, etching, woodcuts, and mono-printing on clay. At the heart of our practice is a dialogue, not just between ink and surface, but between sisters and the tales that we have been creating since girlhood. In this ever-growing mythology we build together, each print is a spell, each mark a door left ajar—waiting for those who dare to step through.

Hannah and Barbara Ann Lewis are sisters from Sipsey, Alabama. They both graduated from the University of Montevallo. Hannah currently works as an art teacher, while Barbara Ann has a career in higher education.
