The organization: Blue Bay Press was founded in 1982 by El Cerrito Printmaker and Sculptor Maj-Britt Hilstrom. The artists work regularly in her El Cerrito studio. Beginning with the more traditional monotypes on paper, the artists have expanded their range and versatility by printing on silk, canvas, leather and aluminum, stretching the boundaries of printmaking. They have had numerous exhibitions of their work, both individually and as a group. Their work is widely collected nationally and internationally.
This exhibit will include several styles of printmaking —etching, monotype, chine colle, and woodblock, on handmade paper, canvas, and other surfaces, for example. It will also include a small collection of marble sculptures made by Maj-Britt Hilstrom. The artists presenting their works will be Joan Finton, Maj-Britt Hilstrom, Katie Leong, Virginia Munroe, and Ellen Yamada Tzvetin.
Artist Virginia Munroe, "Wild Pollen"
