Margaret Matthews Berenson

New York-based curator, Margaret Mathews Berenson, will speak about her essay, ” Nature and the Environment: Preserving Experiences in Hybrid Prints” for the exhibition: “Women and Print” at the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery. Whether working directly from nature en plein air or combining their experiences and impressions in the studio through digital means, the twelve artists who are the focus of her research embrace printmaking with a remarkable understanding of traditional print processes while freely blending traditional techniques with new technology. The results are hybrid forms of printmaking that are distinctly their own.
