Giacometti's
prints are usually abstract but,
upon occasion, she produces a series
of figurative work based on a
particular theme. A recent
series was "Lobstermen of
Maine."
Giacometti's paintings are usually
about people and what she calls
"little moments, people doing
everyday things." As
subjects, she is also fond of
animals (whose character and
intelligence she values
greatly). She creates 10 small
collages a year, whimsical delights
that have become increasingly
popular.
