Betty Woodman

Betty Woodman has come to the studio almost every Spring since we began our collaborations in 1985. We have made monotypes, monoprints, woodcuts and lithographs. Some of them with collage and combinations of processes.
Betty returned in April to make new monotype collages. First working on background sheets and then vessel shapes that were cut out and collaged onto the backgrounds.
Four groups of monotypes were completed. They include, Terra Cotta Vases & Flowers, Dining Room and Shutters & Vases. In these prints Woodman places images of her vessels into room like settings.
Here are some examples.
