snicka (b. 1989 in St. Louis, MO) is a printmaker, painter, and photographer working in Grand Rapids, MI. In middle school and high school, she was inspired to draw by the unique, hand-drawn animation styles of transgressive cartoons that aired on T.V. long past bedtime.

While earning her BA in Printmaking from Grand Valley State University, snicka worked at a thrift store, elbow-deep in other people's castoffs, deciding what still had life left in it. The job left her with a lasting interest in decay, consumption, and waste. A recurring motif of men's button-down shirts and ties asks: what counts as success, and how much time do we spend chasing it? Artists who influence her work include Ben Shahn, Yoshitomo Nara, and René Magritte.

snicka has been part of the artist collective TITANS and volunteers with the local nonprofit Avenue for the Arts. When she is away from her ink and paint, she can be found gardening, spending time with family and friends, and trying to win at Call of Duty and poker.
