Another Verse, Red - Limited Edition 2 of 3 Print

Beth DuShane Farmer (1925-2003) was always drawing as a child. As a teenager she copied Audubon’s birds right out of the book. Because of her free-hand ability, she was recruited as a technical illustrator for Boeing during the war. She continued to study in watercolors, and oil then discovered printmaking which had recently emerged in the 1960s. Also known as serigraphy -- it is the process of forcing paint onto paper using a silk screen. Each color is applied separately using individual hand-stenciled screens. Many layers of ink squeezed onto the paper in succession create the finished image. Farmer found inspiration everywhere, at home or on travels, always documenting her observations with sketches and photography. Farmer started creating stencils via a free-hand exploration of color, shape and texture, often using materials like lace for a collage effect. She also applied the technique of photosensitive emulsion or photo-reactive stenciling for a illustrative effect. She loved experimenting with color and placement variations, creating the same image in multiple color stories.
