Any thoughts on the Wickford Art Show in July? I did it a few years ago, it wasn't so good, but I heard that it was a lot better last year. This year they have a new director...
I'm a printmaker.
printmaking (2)
In Latvia she was an artist animator for a film producer, a printmaker and illustrated over twenty books, mostly dealing with fairy tales and fantasy.
Skip to today and these early experiences are evident in her finely detailed work. Drawing is the base for her intaglio prints. Intaglio is a technique of deep printing (like embossing with ink), and there are many ways how to make image on metal: etching, aquatint, drypoint, mezzotint, engraving. She uses all these techniques and often combines them in one piece.
The next time you see her at an art fair do yourself a favor and devote some thoughtful time to exploring and understanding her fine work. Better yet, take some home, you will have art to treasure for a lifetime.
