Christy Mitchell

Category: printmaker

Mitchell’s work is landscape based, having to do with our connection to the earth. Whether a piece is a floral study, a landscape or an abstract interpretation, the work reflects contemplation of the gifts from the land.

Trained as both a painter and a printmaker, the process she find most satisfying is the work with monotypes. The particular technique she works with combines both disciplines, using oil paint and brushes to create the image, plus the challenge of working backwards and not quite knowing what will be revealed when the piece is pulled off the working surface. A sense of adventure is necessary!
