Youngquist’s mixed media beadwork reflects a fascination with the intersection of humans, animals, and mythology. Stemming from a lifelong love of all creatures great and small, her work weaves together the human and animal spirit through a surrealistic lens. During the past dozen years, Youngquist has exhibited her work at the National Museum of Women in the Arts and the Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington, D.C., the VIDA Museum in Borgholm, Sweden, and recently, completed an installation project for the Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin.—Tory Folliard Gallery, Milwaukee
