Artist's Statement

The path my art is now taking is using technology (3D printers), creatively to create small, precise, colorful, and personal artwork that draws the viewer closer, creating a one to one close connection using a machine. As 3D printing is growing and developing so is the art made with 3D printers. The way the art is made is its own art.

“I draw the artwork on 3D modeling programs then send to a slicing program that then writes it in a G-code, that is sent to the 3D printer, that reads the code and prints the art I built.” An exact and intuitive process that I use as a precise, vehicle for self expression. These are 3D mono prints.The amount of detail you can get working so small is unique to this digital medium.

As an artist I have always worked with my hands: when I first worked in clay at 5 and now working with my fingers on an iPad creating art with STL files, G-codes, mono prints to be 3D printed with the same creative language I’ve used in every media. It’s an exact intuitive process.

Artist bio:

Annemarie Baldauf has been making art since she was 6 years old, working first in clay then hand-made paper in graduate school. She lives and works in San Ramon, California and received her BFA from San Francisco Art Institute studying with Richard Shaw.  She received an MFA from The California College of the Arts in Oakland studying with the late Viola Fry.

Annemarie Baldauf was a public school art teacher where she created large scale paintings on playgrounds, large scale clay mosaics on school buildings and large scale painted stained glass windows inside school classrooms while teaching digital art. She was drawn to 3D printing 10 years ago and has been making her own 3D printed art sculpture and 3D printed mono print/drawings. She is a self taught digital artist. During her time teaching in public schools in California she wrote and published 23 articles in School Arts magazine about art/art education.

Currently She works solely in 3D printed mono-prints sculptures and drawings using an iPad drawing program. Since the pandemic she has started exhibiting her work again in group shows and has been in over 100 shows around the country.
