FORGED IN INK:
A COMMUNITY OF PRINTMAKERS

The Olive Free Library Association is very pleased to present the exhibition Forged in Ink: A Community of Printmakers showcasing the works of eight Hudson Valley artists who have dedicated a great amount of their creative time to printmaking. The show, curated by Maxine Davidowitz and Susanna Ronner will run from March 19 through May 7, 2022 with an opening on Saturday, March 19 from 4 – 6 pm.

Maxine Davidowitz says about this exhibition, “Printmakers are lucky. Most artists work solo in their studios, but printmakers often share a studio space, laying fertile ground for a camaraderie to develop that is like no other. Deep bonds may form as the artists exchange ideas and support each other, both in their work and in their lives. The Woodstock School of Art’s printmaking facility, beautifully renovated in 2016, has become just such a refuge and source of inspiration for a group of artists who have honed their printmaking skills under the guidance of Olive’s own Kate McGloughlin. Here, some of this group—including their mentor—exhibit their works, ranging from monotype to collagraph and mixed media. Included are the works on paper of Maxine Davidowitz, Bobbi Esmark, Joan Ffolliott, Kate McGloughlin, Eileen Power, Susanna Ronner, Muriel Stallworth, and Claudia Waruch.”
