M. Momberg

Mariette Momberg is an experimental printmaker who explores the multi-faceted relationship between humanity and nature with her socio-political views often central to her creative output. Her work has been described as impactful and evocative with elements of Pop Art and a decidedly contemporary spin. 

​

Combining graphic imagery with bold pattern and colour, illustrated in linocut and mixed media, her art practice continues to evolve into a vibrant and a varied body of work which strives to balance aesthetic with narrative and humour. She is passionate about the enviornment and feels that creative efforts should make a conscious effort to minimise environmental impact. 

​

Mariette is self-taught and has been practising as a full-time artist since 2018. Prior to pursuing a career in art, she had worked in Academia as a social health researcher specialising in reproductive health and rights. She is an active member of the all-female printmaking collective, The Printing Girls. 

​

Her work is held in numerous international and local private collections. Her artwork has been used on the cover design of South African singer-songwriter Karen Zoid’s 2023 album entitled “Humanoid”. She has exhibited in a number of international and local group exhibitions since 2019.
