Meet Miss Crimson Hare

Born in 1970’s Port Washington, WI, Crimson grew up with a Midwestern moral compass, knowing at age five she would grow to be an artist one day. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and spent fifteen years between the Arizona desert and Oregon rain, showing and selling her art in surreal landscapes that would influence her life and work.

Crimson’s work delves into her lifelong experience with scoliosis and formative years wearing the Milwaukee body brace and living with severe scoliosis as an adult. A short stint with breast cancer in 2017 and reconstruction surgery became a new chapter of influence in Crimson’s work, and one that put art on a hiatus for fear of working with toxins.

A child of antique collectors, she grew up collecting Disney and Marilyn Monroe items. In adulthood she ventured into collecting vintage WWI and WWII era American Red Cross, vintage Girl Scout, and autographs of those who have inspired and influenced her life. She intends to create bodies of work that reflect and celebrate these themes.
