You don’t have to be afraid of printmaking anymore, you don’t even need to know how to draw! In this workshop, we will use plants, flowers and leaves as our image making tools and create impressions on paper using ink and a press. Instead of painstakingly painting or carving an image, we will let nature create our images. Through layers of ink we will “print” the plants onto paper almost like a stencil. You’ll be amazed at the amount of detail that can be achieved and the endless possibilities of beauty just waiting to be created.

I love making connections. When I see a student's face light up after they hear me explain a process, when someone writes to me about how a piece of my artwork has brought back fond memories, or made them realize something they hadn't before, it makes my heart skip a beat. Creating connections between the past and the present, between different artistic mediums, and different learning styles is what I do. I believe that art is a language that can be a lens through which we see the world. I believe it is a vital part of our lives, informs a lot of what we do subconsciously and should be taken more seriously as a viable career in our society.
