Harper (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist and muralist in Iowa City, IA.

She primarily works with handmade paper, printmaking techniques, book forms, and collage. Her practice is grounded in a desire to treat physical objects and their embedded histories with tenderness. Themes of collecting, remembering, and preserving are integral to her work, manifesting in both holdable, intimate objects and large, site-specific installations.

She graduated from Coe College in 2022 with a BA in Studio Art, emphasis in Printmaking, and was awarded the Marvin Cone prize for most outstanding body of work. Currently, she is an MFA candidate and Iowa Arts Fellow at the University of Iowa Center for the Book, set to graduate in Spring 2026.

Harper is available to teach classes/workshops in these mediums:

  • Intaglio printmaking
  • Letterpress printing
  • Recycled papermaking
  • Bookbinding
  • Life drawing
  • Collage

She is also available to commission for:

  • Indoor and outdoor murals
  • Site-specific art installations
  • Repurposing ephemera into handmade paper

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
