Biography

Fleming Jeffries began her studies in Printmaking in 1993 at the Moscow
Studio in Russia, where she came into contact with a group of Russian Paper
Architects. Since then, she has continued to investigate social criticism
through the portrayal of unbuildable, metaphorical spaces. Her recent works
("Mechanical Ocean," "Hydrofantasies & Mechano-morphisms") explore the
perceptual divide between human beings and nature in visual fantasies of
engineered environment. Her current project, "Cloud Garden," utilizes a
garden theme to explore the realities and intricasicies of weather
modification. A native of Washington, D.C., she has traveled extensively
while completing a BFA in Printmaking and BA in Russian at the University of
Alaska Anchorage in 1999; in 2004 a professional printer certificate at
Tamarind Institute of Lithography, Albuquerque, New Mexico; and in 2007 an
MFA in Printmaking at Rhode Island School of Design.
