My latest series “Survivors” is dedicated to the orphaned Kodiak bear cubs that were rescued in May of 2015 and relocated to the Wildwood Zoo, Marshfield, WI.  If you search through some of my earlier posts listed under (Kodiak bear cubs)  you’ll find links to news articles and video segments offering information  on the rescue efforts and relocation of the cubs and learn about why I’ve been inspired by the orphaned Kodiak bear cubs.
Many of the original prints I’ve created are also offered as reproduction prints in the format of greeting cards.

In 2003 I returned to college as a non-Contemplationtraditional student and discovered printmaking. I had no idea what printmaking was at the time and now I don’t know how I’d live without my printing press! I fell in love with printmaking because of the diversity it offers me as well it being a vehicle for me to create artwork that addresses the vast and diverse world of how humans communicate with each other utilizing different forms of technology over the past 100 years.

The Art Discipline at UW- Marshfield Campus embraces the many possible forms and functions of art. The images on this video represent the Introduction to Printmaking Course that is offered at the UW Marshfield / Wood County Campus during the second semester of the course study in the Spring of 2013. The printmaking area is comprised of intaglio, relief, monotype and other associated processes. The printmaking studio is equipped with a light table, ventilation spray booth, flat storage drawers, numerous work tables and two etching presses.

Introduction to Printmaking studio course acquaints students with various printmaking techniques, focusing on intaglio processes (collagraph, monotype, hard ground and soft ground) and relief printmaking.

Gallery 450 hosted it’s 15th student art exhibition which offers the viewer an amazing array of work created by the students who have been enrolled in art courses during the Fall and Spring Semesters of 2012-2013. This exhibition displays our students’ ability to work hard, think critically and be open to new ideas. Creative people are often seen as a being in a a class by themselves-as people with certain “gifts” that the rest of us don’t seem to have. Yet most scientists agree creativity has little to do with talent or skill. Among the traits that creative people have is strong interest in finding and framing unusual problems. In addition there is the ability to take risks-creative peopl function on the edge of their competence; the motivation is not grades, money, or recognition, but simply the desire to learn.

The Art Discipline at UW- Marshfield Campus embraces the many possible forms and functions of art. The images on this video represent the Introduction to Drawing Course and 2-D Course offered at the UW Marshfield / Wood County Campus during the first semester of course study in the Fall of 2012.

The art program strives to create an environment that encourages students to take risks and experiment with subject matter, concept, process and creative outcome.
