ABOUT MARE BLOCKER
Seattle native, Mare Blocker, comes from a family of artists and makers. Her first job, at five, was painting trees in the background of her grandfather’s landscape paintings, which they sold at the Seattle Center and Pike Place Market. She likes to say, “I grew up in the Fun Forest.”
Mare has been making books since 1976 and founded The MKimberly Press in 1984. She has published 69 limited edition titles, almost five hundred unique artist’s books, and numerous broadsides and prints. Her work has been placed in over 100 museums, libraries, and public collections internationally. Mare has received two major publication commission awards; from the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and the Center for Book Arts, NYC. Mare is scheduled for a solo exhibition at BIMA in October 2025.
