FINE-ART PRINTS
Mary’s interest in printmaking flows from her interest
in paper and ink. She started using calligraphic pens at
age 12 and made her first paper after reading Tim Barrett’s
classic book on Japanese papermaking.
At Maine College of Art, a class on contemporary printmaking
processes yoked these two interests, and the instructor’s
emphasis on nontoxic and experimental techniques electrified
Mary.
Today, Mary’s work is characterized by experimentation
with unusual papers (such as spun olefin), new processes
(such as photo-etching film laminated to Plexiglas) and
innovative “found” materials (such as rubber
bands and butter).
