Linda Dubin Garfield is an award-winning printmaker and mixed media artist who creates original art inspired by nature, informed by memory, using hand-pulled printmaking techniques, photography, collage and digital imaging. She also creates installations that include public participatory art, especially when she is exploring themes relating to women in today’s culture.
In the early 90’s, she took a printmaking course and fell in love with the process. Unlike other passionate relationships that fade with time, the passion and love she had for printmaking has only gotten more intense. Several years ago, she started exploring mixed media and has found that combining collage and monotype is another relationship that works wonders for her. In her latest work, she is combining photography and digital imaging with other techniques. The possibilities are exponential.
The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
Nature nurtures and inspires me. I combine elements of nature, texture and design along with the magic of the press. When I like a subject, it stays with me. I am intrigued by memory and what remains in our mind’s eye. My work reflects scenes from previous travel. More than a report on how it was exactly, I am interested in my expressive and passionate response to the color and pattern of the landscape or image. My work is informed by an accumulation of such scenes and the pleasure I get from the printing process. Rather than representing every detail, I am evoking the hidden and revealing the atmosphere. I create personal memoirs.
