A reception to meet the artist is scheduled for Thursday, October 27, from noon to 1 pm at the Gettysburg Campus, 731 Old Harrisburg Road. The exhibit and reception are open to the community.
"Monotype printmaking allows the painterly stroke and veiling of color while incorporating textural objects within the surface of the print," said the artist. "My process in printmaking combines years of expressionist painting with the layering and manipulation of the printing process. Rolling out the ink and working into the matrix of the plate reveals new avenues of visual thinking."
