A boy holds a young woman from behind, his arm drawn firmly around her shoulders as she raises an arm that partially obscures her face. Subtle tonal modeling and faint secondary outlines create a sense of intimacy edged with uncertainty, as if the moment is both held and slipping away.

Biography
Carrie Lingscheit is a contemporary printmaker whose original intaglio works explore the fragile nature of perception, memory, and human connection. Working primarily in etching and mezzotint, she creates psychologically charged images that unfold as quiet, open-ended narratives. Her prints often focus on solitary figures or intimate interactions, where meaning is shaped as much by what is omitted as by what is revealed.
Lingscheit’s work reflects a sustained interest in how experiences are remembered, distorted, and reassembled over time. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, her images invite viewers to complete the story themselves, activating personal associations and emotional memory. This contemplative approach places her work in conversation with artists on this site such as Jos Sances, whose prints similarly draw meaning from stillness, interior moments, and the symbolic resonance of human presence within landscape and space.
Her work has been exhibited widely in national and international venues and included in numerous invitational exchange portfolios. Notable exhibitions include the 3rd International Mezzotint Festival in Ekaterinburg, Russia, and the Washington Printmakers National Small Works Juried Exhibition in Washington, D.C.
Lingscheit received her B.F.A. from the University of South Dakota in 2006 and her M.F.A. from Ohio University in 2010. She currently lives and works in Chicago, Illinois.
