While most of Poehlmann’s career has been devoted to creating art, she has also embarked upon a tremendous quest for learning and teaching. Influenced by Milwaukee’s finest artists starting with Layton’s Karl Priebe to master printmaker John Gruenwald, Poelhmann’s quest for knowledge has kept her art evolving and in response to new techniques. In the 1980’s Poehlmann traveled to great museums in Europe, viewing firsthand the works she studied in art history classes.” Poehlmann states “The painters I’d admired for so many years came to life…so I put the two ideas together for a series I called Paintings for Over the Sofa.” These paintings are clever, thought provoking, and whimsically Dada. Evolving further into multimedia Poehlmann explains, “With the creation of books, my use of words and images has morphed from two-dimensional—in prints, drawings, and collages—into three-dimensions.” As a popular lecturer and teacher, Poehlmann reminds students of the tremendous importance of observation and draftsmanship. For Poehlmann, drawing with scientific accuracy expresses her respect and love for her subjects.
