Aimée Plueger - Serendipitous Joy Art

Visual Art – Minneapolis

Aimée Plueger is a middle school art teacher in the south metro. She founded Serendipitous Joy Art, her hand lettering and fine art Etsy store in December 2017. For her, art is a vehicle to express her thoughts and feelings and to create work that can uplift others. Her shop name stems from the thought that all art includes mistakes. It is finding the joy within those mistakes and making something of them where it becomes a meaningful piece of art. The artist’s struggles and triumphs are shared with the viewer. Aimée graduated from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD in 2015 with her B.A in Art and Education. She has since pursued a career in art education working with elementary and middle school students. She enjoys creating art not only with her students, but in her home to share with others. She believes in a strong art education for all students so that they too can learn to express themselves in new ways and to share their life experiences through their art. Aimée creates not only art for the home, but hand lettered pieces for special events. She believes the human touch to any work of art makes it that much more special. Art is an escape for Aimée where she can play with color and line. Much of her work has a push and pull between abstraction and realism as she plays with negative space and it’s relation to her subject matter.
