This winter the Oehme Graphics staff has been editioning our largest prints by artists Diana Cooper, Jason Karolak, Melissa Meyer, and David Row. Some prints take as long as three hours to produce with four printers while others barely fit on the press bed! It is quite a joy to fill the print shop with colorful pieces that contrast with the snowy, winter landscape outside our windows. We are delighted with the current artist in residence, Deborah Freedman, and her generously colored large watercolor monotypes. Sneak peek of her project at the bottom of the post.
Master Printer, Sue Oehme, is registering Jason Karolak's PR-1320. Four carborundum plates construct the red form on this print. The last plate is a steel-faced, step-etched copper aquatint and will fill in the negative space and tone the form with beautiful, velvety black ink.

Our current artist in residence, Deborah Freedman, traveled from NYC for her third visit to Oehme Graphics. She brightens the print shop with her colorful watercolor monoprints. We look forward to Deborah completing her third series of prints in collaboration with Master Printer Sue Oehme. To see Deborah's previous work at OG click here.
Her new prints will be available through Oehme Graphics on Feb. 6.
