Art & Soul
2860 NW Market Street
For the past six years, Theresa Connolly has created multi-color reduction prints using linoleum and oil inks. The long process of carving and building up an image with layers of color gives her time to contemplate the things she loves like the moon, water and trees. Although detailed drawings are part of the preparation, she pares them down to a few lines on the linoleum to guide her. This approach allows her to work with the unexpected, after each layer of color. The result is a suggestion rather than a strict representation of a landscape or object. Recently, Connolly has started making extra prints to cut up and create collages, as well as adding watercolor silkscreen prints to her repertoire. Whichever method, she sees her prints as thank you notes to the people and elements in her world that sustain her.
