Young Artist Series Present Irena Pejovic. Trained in drawing and printmaking in my native Macedonia (where the course of study is rigorous, incorporating anatomy and other traditional pursuits), I came to the US primed to break out, ready to discover my own esthetic ‘voice.’ Over the last few years, I’m happy to say: I’ve found it. It’s no surprise that my work often depicts people breaking out of a chrysalis state. In many ways, that’s how I feel as an artist.
