drama of transferring one image many ways.
So much can be told in the placement, color
intensity and design on the paper.
Peggy Sexton is a mixed-media fiber artist,
concentrating in surface design. Her Art Cloth
focuses on dimension and depth by applying
screen and block printed designs on hand-dyed
cloth. Sexton uses various printmaking
techniques to express nature’s many layers of
subtle, yet rich color and contradictions: Age
and beauty, strong and fragile, danger and joy.
Cookie Wells paints expressive, colorful,
bold, figurative watercolors. She loves painting
on paper and because of that, all types of
printmaking appeal to her. Wells likes the
different effects achieved when one of her
pieces is produced as a print. She feels that the
artistic quality seen in printmaking is due to its
long history.

Barbara Able, known for her abstract and
figurative paintings, was introduced to
printmaking at Monothon: College of Santa
Fe’s Annual Printmaking Workshop and
Exhibition in New Mexico.
Encaustic artist Joel Anderson incorporates
modern elements into an ancient art medium.
He has produced many encaustic monoprints
for this exhibit.
Christie Coker typically works with acrylic
paint on textured surfaces using sights and
sounds from nature as her inspiration. She
continues her exploration of texture while
incorporating printmaking techniques into her
artistic process.

Paula J. Haymond’s wood sculptural skills
have now been turned to making prints using
highly carved wood panels. Her prints
resemble another aspect of ancient landscapes
and unnamed creatures.
Harold Joiner is a painter and printmaker
who explores themes related to the natural or
built environment. His work ranges from the
purely abstract to the fully representational
and is inspired by what he sees in the cities,
parks and nature preserves, as well as the open
countryside of central and south Texas.
Painter Donna E Perkins approaches
monotype printmaking in an experimental and
playful manner. She is interested in the play of
light on metallic surfaces.
Shirl Riccetti, with her drawing background,
has always enjoyed the physical activity and
