Artist Biography - Statement
Kathy Dybeck - Printmaking / Mixed Media / Collage
I have no agendas in my artwork. I work best when I'm happy, and while I do a lot of black and white work, I love bright colors. Plants and houses figure in much of my work,
in both 2D and 3D.
The collage pieces in this year's SUMMER ART SALON are day dreamings -- with a touch of humor -- while drawing, adding color and collage, seeing animal images emerging from my imagination.
Most of my work in recent years consists of doing more a mixed-media approach to art, using printmaking as a base (especially monotypes and collographs), with elements of other work that I've done, in handmade paper, abstract painting , alternative photography, and textiles, added to the mix. These are subjects I teach at my FOGBELT STUDIO.
