Inspired by Nature: Five Printmakers at the Arnold Arboretum
Mar 01 - Aug 01, 2020
Five printmakers—Arlene Bandes, Lynda Goldberg, Mary Beth Maisel, Amy McGregor-Radin, and Gayle Smalley—take you on their journeys into nature with this virtual art exhibition of prints. Each artist embodies a unique way of observation, a new exploration of printmaking techniques, honed and owned in personal styles that complement the very nature that they witness and admire. Read this story to learn how this show was affected by (and was adapted to) the COVID-19 pandemic.
The artists meet monthly for critiques, support, and a challenge to explore beyond the limits of their art. They are also all active members of the Nature Printing Society.
Members have exhibited in numerous galleries and museums including Attleboro Art Museum, The Art Complex Museum (Duxbury), The Boston Athenaeum, and the Fuller Museum of Art (now Fuller Craft Museum), among others. Maisel and Goldberg contributed chapters to The Art of Printing from Nature, published by the Nature Printing Society. Goldberg and Bandes are instructors in the Greater Boston area.
