Linda Germain has been making prints since 2007.
When she explored the process with the help of the book Making Monotypes with a Gelatin Plate by her friend and colleague Nancy Marculewicz.
Gelatin Printmaking was the perfect fit for Linda’s creative expression:
- it is low tech and readily available
- inexpensive and able to print at home
- it is fast and feedback is immediate
- gelatin printmaking can create fabulous detail without a press
- it is responsive and unpredictable
- it is fluid and ever changing
- allows for incorporation of found objects and tools
Linda took her time getting to being an active artist and teacher.
First, she chose to become a lawyer and practiced real estate law for 9 years. The law and other people’s conflicts were not her passions.
Take a look at her studio and the things that inspire her style of printmaking and feed her teaching style.
Ms. Germain loves gelatin printmaking and the possibilities it creates.
