Studio paintings and large-scale socially engaged public murals made in the Basque Country, Spain and the United States since 1993.
Werckmeister's studio practice is intimate, unorchestrated, while her public practice works within communities and is by necessity planned.
In the studio there is experimentation of materials and subjects. On the streets, materials, time and budget are fixed.
Her studio practice develops quietly.
Her public practice spans 30 years of large-scale murals made with communities, city governments, schools, and institutions across Spain and the US. In 2007 she co-founded the Mural Itinerary of Vitoria-Gasteiz— collaborative murals that transformed the medieval city center.
