Artist Profile

Rebecca Dant is a printmaker as well as a mixed media artist. She can be found in her garden studio most days working on some interesting creation.

Sometimes she is rolling ink up on plexi-plates or Solar Plates and printing on the etching press the traditional way. On other days she is inventing some multi-layered piece from all different kinds of colored papers, parts of other prints plus doing some painting on the piece.

OPEN STUDIOS 2009 has Rebecca throwing her computer into the mix to print Scanographs of the flowers from her garden as well as some "finds" from the Farmer's Market.

The Scanographic Esthetic can best be described as the convergence of natural subjects artistically placed on the scanner bed combined with the judicious use of various backgrounds and light sources.

NO CAMERA INVOLVED!
These Larger Than Life Limited Editions are true examples of Dramatic Realism with a sense of Old World Character.

All of these techniques make her studio a vibrant alive place to visit. Many days other artists are sharing her studio with her. You will never know what she will be up to next!
