Artists’ Reception: April 5, 2006, 6:30–8:30 pm

"Color Prints" is an exhibit of innovative work by Beth Ganz, Lynn Margileth, Diane Miller (curator), Marjorie Miller, and Sarah Plimpton, established artist-printmakers with distinguished exhibiting careers, who have studied printmaking for many years with Vijay Kumar at the Manhattan Graphics Center. All five artists demonstrate uniquely creative approaches to the art of color printmaking.

Beth Ganz prints her photogravure images on Japanese Gampi paper and layers these prints over vintage wallpaper, creating dreamlike effects reflecting her experiences in Asia. Lynn Margileth's interest in inner and metaphysical experiences are expressed in her original use of color and references to ancient texts and symbols. Diane Miller prints intaglios, collagraphs and monotypes on thin Japanese papers and collages fragments of her prints over her own artist-made paper. Her circular images, called "Haikus" are lyrical and tactile evocations of the natural world. Marjorie Miller prints unique images by layering and varying her colors, passing her plates through the press in many stages, often using chine collé. Sarah Plimpton's aquatints are poetic abstractions, full of texture and movement, with intensely resonant color achieved through viscosity printing.

OIA is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1976 by artists.
