In this workshop we’ll utilize spontaneous painting and drawing techniques applied to Plexiglas or metal plates and transfer these to paper with a single pass of the press. Glistening layers of radiant ink, imbedded permanently into the fibers of rag paper, will create truly unique images. Subsequent over-printing creates depth, mystery, or veils of memory and possibilities. The spontaneity of direct painting and drawing techniques require few printmaking skills and the beginner will be rewarded with magical surprises. There will be daily demonstrations along with individual discussion of work in progress. The large PAAM print studio has one electric and two manual presses and many large worktables to accommodate all aspects of printmaking projects, including the “ghosts and unexpected guests” that mysteriously occur in monotypes. Discover why artists from the 17th century to the present continue to explore the magic of monotype.

She has taught printmaking for 30 years both locally and in Boston at Simmons College, and Bridgewater State College, where she received her MAT in 1984. She received an MFA in Painting/Printmaking at the Massachusetts College of Art in 2008 and teaches Printmaking as an adjunct faculty member at Cape Cod Community College. She expanded her printmaking skills through independent postgraduate research and monotype classes with Michael Mazur at the Fine Arts Work Center; Bob Siegalman at Museum School of Fine Arts; Ron Pokrasso from Santa Fe, NM; etching classes with George Nama and Ann Gilman from NY; and solar etching with Dan Welden. She has lived year round on Cape Cod for 25 years and maintained a Fenway Studio in Boston for 10 years. Recent work includes a series of oil paintings and site-specific monotypes generated from direct observation and painting plein air, documenting erosional landforms silently transformed by gravity and the forces of nature. She has painted plein air for 20 years on Martha’s Vineyard, Monhegan Island, Germany, Italy, France, California and Cape Cod.
