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 four emphasis areas of my art degree were in printmaking, textiles, metal arts, and art education. 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 elements are also subjects I teach.
