About

  • My works explore elements of identity, pleasure, and mundanity all wrapped up in the core theme of midwestern culture. It is an investigation of questions yet to be answered. Using multimedia processes and techniques, I approach my work from an experimental standpoint to allow it to unfold itself. I work primarily with ink and acrylic, but allow other touches of media to make its way in my pieces. My work is created to unpack life from my perspective in the hopes to capture the beauty within the mundane.

  • Mak Sayer is a 2D artist currently pursuing a BFA degree with a focus in painting and drawing, at Bowling Green State University. She primarily works with ink to compile imagery that explores composition, detail, and a personal narrative. She also explores other mediums such as gouache, acrylic, oil, and pan pastels. 

    Mak is a studio tech intern under Professor Mille Guldbeck, and assists with studio management and diving deeper into materials and processes. In addition to this, she is also an officer in the 2DAA art club on campus, striving to create growth among the 2D artists within the community. Her work has been exhibited in the BGSU BFA undergrad exhibition, earning an honorable mention on one of her entries. She has also exhibited work in the Findlay Art League exhibition.
