A winter feast for the eyes featuring the art of
 Maggie Siner at Rose Gallery through January.
More details to follow.

MAGGIE SINER
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Siner began her studies at the Art Students League of New York in 1968, graduated from Boston University (BFA) and American University (MFA). Siner's work is classically derived yet contemporary. While freely handled and gestural, her paintings have a strong sense of underlying structure. She works exclusively from life, one of a diminishing number of artists who use direct visual perception to translate the human experience into material form. Her influences from Chinese painting are evident in her free and responsive brushwork. A master of paint, she is known for evocative portraits, luscious still-life arrangements, and a sparkling play of light and shadow emphasizing the momentary nature of vision and time.

Printmaking at Inky Editions, Hudson

Excerpt from January issue, Hudson Magazine. copyright 2015

Inky Editions is a gem for artists who love being in the studio environment.

Located behind the Basilica at 112 South Front Street, George Tsalikis opened the interdisciplinary 5,000 square foot studio space earlier this year. A clean, bright, warm space to connect and create with others, there is a current exhibit of monotypes by Richard Segalman on the walls for inspiration.

Recently I participated in a printmaking class led by Christina Pumo of Akua paints along with about 20 others of varying skill levels. On a dreary raw rainy November day, the art created was vibrant and extremely colorful.

Many people enjoy the process of creating monotypes comparative to painting but with a much less committed process than for example an oil painting or watercolor. With some very elaborate stencils or by using a subtractive approach of removing shapes from the ink on a plexiglass plate; the process is not as easy as one might assume. In a short time, however even beginners were finding their expression and ability to create prints to be happy with.

Monotypes shine with many added layers of color such as Prussian Blue and gold with reflective flakes adding an iridescence to the finished print.

Inky Editions will be having additional printmaking and other classes starting in January. A year's studio membership is $50 giving members discounted classes. See inkyeditions.com for different membership packages.

Visit Akua Printshop on Youtube for print techniques and akuainks.com for supplies such as inks, and the Akua Pin Press portable press to use at home.

Chatham bookstore and Staples have been great sources locally for archival papers and supplies as well.
