Collograph Monoprints

​

Lois Beatty began studying her craft in Boston in the 1980s.  She became enamored of the printmaking process immediately, and never looked back.  Beatty creates collograph mono prints, each piece one of a kind, with shapes that dance across the paper.  Her work is heavily informed by the 80's aesthetic that was so popular at the beginning stages of her career. Since then, her compositions have evolved tremendously from the relatively simple geometry of her earlier work, to flowing organic shapes that call to the natural world. 

​

Beatty moved from Boston to New Hampshire shortly after the closing of Rugg Road Paper and Prints in Somerville, where she had worked and gained much of her experience as an artist. Accompanying her in the move was the Rugg Road printing press, which now sits in her personal studio in New Hampshire.
