What’s the difference between relief and intaglio, lithography and screen printing, monotype or monoprint? Fine Art Printmaking is often misunderstood by artists and non-artists alike, especially in light of today’s digital technologies. In this presentation, printmaker and painter Ann Rosenthal will explain the different types of printmaking processes and techniques. She will show various printing plates and equipment and their resulting prints, plus provide examples from both well-known and little known artists who make printmaking their main medium, or use printmaking to explore other aspects of their image making. There will be time for questions from participants as well.

As an artist, educator, and writer for over four decades, Ann Rosenthal has explored the intersections of nature and culture through a range of environmental issues. Much of this work has taken the form of collaborative art installations addressing such topics as nuclear war and waste, the carbon footprint of our food, and biodiversity. Over the last few years, Ann has returned to her creative roots in painting and printmaking, celebrating her love of color, gesture, and form in nature and art. She is particularly drawn to places where water and land meet—fragile ecosystems that we endanger through ignorance, desire, and greed. Ann’s recent creative and professional accomplishments include: Artist in Residence, HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon (2018); Co-Curator for “Crafting Conversations: A Call and Response to Our Changing Climate,” Contemporary Craft BNY Mellon Gallery (2019); “Woman of Environmental Art” award from PennFuture (2020); and one of four editors for Ecoart in Action: Activities, Case Studies, and Provocations for Classrooms and Communities (New Village Press, 2022). Most recently, she was selected to design and execute two asphalt art murals with collaborator JoAnn Moran for Friendship Park in Pittsburgh (2022-23) that reflect the natural features of the park. Ann received her MFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 1999.
