Barbara Mcphail

I work primarily as a printmaker in the monotype medium. Educated in traditional print techniques of etching, lithography, and relief, while at Bob Blackburn's Print Shop in NYC, I learned the moveable shape monotype technique, which has become a distinct vehicle of expression for me.
Having varied interests has led me to also explore handmade paper, painting, collage, and ceramics; each of which I enjoy immensely.
Marked by attention to detail and atmospheric areas of subtlety, my artwork responds to the places that I have lived and traveled, capturing a moment in time, as well as images on a theme that may be more abstract; making a statement, speaking a viewpoint.
