Nancy McIntyre. American, born 1950
"When I walk around with my eyes really open, there's sometimes a moment
when what I see is intensified by an extra dimension - a sudden feeling
that the details in front of me and their relation to each other
crystalize the truth about a place more than they garble it. Nearly
every print I've done is an attempt to portray a place seen at such a
moment."

Leonard H. Mersky. American, 1917-1994
Such is the quality of Leonard H. Mersky's work. In Tokyo, Japan, you will find Mersky etchings, brought by Mayor Kevin White when he visited Boston's sister city and presented several prints to the Japanese government as gifts. In Canberra, Australia, you will find Mersky etchings brought by President George H.W. Bush during a state visit and presented as gifts from the United States of America.

Peter Milton. American, born 1930
"There are not many printmakers in the United States who
make it on their own - that is, who earn their livelihood solely
by making prints... At age thirty-nine Peter Milton made the
decision to devote his entire energies to printmaking." Today
he is considered the most successful of contemporary artists.

Jim Monson. American, born 1942
"In everyone of my prints there are my aspirations, a bit of sweat
and sometimes some blood as well. There is a value in creating a
work, but also a value is endowed by the development of the image.
An energy is acquired in the nurturing of the idea and this energy
is the capsulation of time."

Gordon Mortensen. American, born 1938
"... My chief interests are in shape, color, and texture.
Essentially what I do with the woodblock is paint. Yet, I
make no use whatever of the grain of the wood; the qualities
of woodblock printing don't interest me. I use drawings
abstracted from photographs, thumbnail sketches from my
imagination, and watercolors created directly from the landscape...."

Nina Muys. Austrian/American, born 1945
Muys has a deep and spiritual connection to nature. Her botanical prints express her views that flowers are miracles. Many of her works evoke the spirit of Albrecht Duerer who was interested in the inner life of plants, even the humblest in design. Muys explores what goes on below the surface, such as the mystery of the flowering bulb. |
