My work is featured with 25 other artists from a national call for art exploring Mapping. This group show at the 440 Gallery 440 6th Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11215 was juried by Maddy Rosenberg for the 2023 Theme Show Mapping…

I was acknowledged for two Merit Awards for my woodcuts by Grey Cube Gallery in their fourth international "Botanicals" online art contest for 2023. Contest was open to artists worldwide…

Combining found and everyday objects that are repurposed as elements—to speak to the need for consumer consciousness and to be better choice makers about our environment. This monoprint uses traditional monoprint techniques including wiping away areas of colored ink…

Delighted to announce that my woodcuts “The One Delighting” and “All Up” were two of my prints that received Honorable Mention by the fifth Art competition “Botanicals” at Art Room Gallery

VISCOSITY PRINTMAKING: sounds complicated but it is also known as “simultaneous color printing” and came out of a discovery at Atelier 17 in Paris in the 1920s.

BEHIND THE SCENES:  This is a monoprint (on a plexiglass plate) working with acetate forms created in advance with the intention to provide the composition some defined forms and structure.

BEHIND THE SCENES: This is the plate—the board—from which the print is made. The first is the board inked up in Paynes Grey. The second is the board au natural.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Sometimes the problem with my using corrugated cardboard as a plate is that, well, when printed it will look like I used corrugated cardboard as the plate.

BEHIND THE SCENES: The rainbow roller is a technique used to blend two or more ink colors rolled onto the plate—in this case my woodcut. With the rainbow roller there is a transition that happens between ink color that is something of a mystery.

Thrilled to announce that this woodcut is now in the permanent collection of Master Printer Kathy Caraccio, with whom I have been studying for several years.

Forms are both raised and recessed to create an embossed and imprinted three-dimensional effect on the paper.

A joy to learn from and study with printmaking with Master Printer, artist, curator and collaborator Kathy Caraccio, and delighted to have a piece of my work in her major print collection.

So exciting to have had my artwork as a part of friend and designer Kevin Dumais’ @dumais_inc fundraiser for Housing Works’ Design On A Dime auction this year.

My work was selected by the very gifted interior designer Kevin Dumais #dumais_inc to be included in his designed room for Housing Works’ benefit, Design on a Dime NYC 2018!

I was so delighted that my monoprint from the series, Scenes from Above: The Devin Prints—this one entitled Doppelgänger— was chosen as the book cover for From Trauma to Healing: A Social Worker’s Guide to Working with Survivors written by Dr. Ann Goelitz with Abigail Stewart-Kahn.

I knew I wanted to write this post about # Robert Kaupelis, the painter, abstract expressionist and my teacher who had a great influence on my way of seeing. He was an extraordinary teacher…and his two books (Learning to Draw and Experimental Drawing ) are like him, catalysts that push artists to go beyond the boundaries of mediums and convention.

As a social worker, Brooklynite and an artist, I was delighted to have ten pieces of my art selected for permanent exhibition at the Atlantic Avenue community room at 1825 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn.

Marina is a printmaking master and collaborator extraordinaire. I have been working with her for years and it always such an exciting adventure.
