Jaclyn JanisPrintmaker

I began printmaking in January 2023 at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria, VA. I spent my remaining time in Virginia as an affiliate at Discover Graphics Atelier, and I now work out of Running With Scissors in Portland, Maine.

In my work I seek to share my experiences with the natural world, and in doing so, give myself the opportunity to slow life down by constructing images cut by cut and layer by layer.

​

My pieces are all hand-drawn, hand-carved, and hand-pulled. I do mostly reduction woodblock and linocut printmaking, where several layers of ink are applied to create the final image, and the block is destroyed in the process. For more information about printmaking, please see here.
