Congratulations on purchasing a beautiful block print
The diversity of the artist within Gallery Moab always impress the art enthusiast that come into the gallery. Deborah McDermott was featured in our Artists Spotlight last August. Deborah gave this statement in regards to her impressive art.
An original print is an impression taken from an inked block or plate that the artist has gouged, etched, or worked in a variety of ways to contain an image. To transfer the image to paper, it may be hand-burnished, or put through a press. It is signed, numbered, and usually printed in an edition, except for a monotype print which is one-of-a-kind. The prints in an edition are all inked separately and printed individually by the printmaker. A print is not a reproduction of another artwork. It is an affordable work of art prized and collected for its own special visual qualities.
Deborah's prints continue to be popular with our patrons. Yesterday another print was purchased and taken to it's new home.
