About

Expressive images come to life when you apply ink on plexiglass plates using brushes, roller, and rags. Then the plate is run through an etching press to make one-of-a-kind images.

Begin to master the technical aspects of monotype as you discover and explore what fascinates you. You'll learn about a wide range of monotype techniques designed to kick-start your creativity and develop your skills as a printmaker.

And you get to take home your own original monotype prints.

Wendy Orville

An artist and educator who was born in New York and grew up in New Haven, Conn., Wendy received a BA in Fine Arts from Yale University and an MFA in painting from American University. Her monotypes have been exhibited at the Tacoma Art Museum, the Museum of Northwest Art, the Bellevue Art Museum, and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Her monotypes are featured in the book "Singular & Serial: Contemporary Monotype and Monoprint." Wendy has taught at Pratt Fine Arts Center and The Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, the University of Indiana, and numerous other venues. She is represented by Harris Harvey Gallery in Seattle. Trained as a painter but largely self-taught as a printmaker, she fell in love with the monotype process when she lived in Taos, New Mexico. "Something happened ... that opened up a different part of me. I felt genuinely free to experiment and fail, trusting myself to follow the process anywhere it led.” Visit her website at www.wendyorville.com and Instagram at @wendyorville.
