Leni graduated from Pratt Institute in 1980, where she specialized in Printmaking and studied intensively with Clare Romano. It was at this time that she began developing her unique monoprint technique. This technique uses many separate cutouts as ‘plates’ to make a series of related images. Leni works in many different printmaking mediums and does not hesitate to combine them. In 1997, she began making linoleum block prints in order to have a medium she could do while traveling. Linocut plates do not need a press in order to print them. Leni has been making original prints for over 20 years. Her work is included in many prestigious museum collections in the U.S., including The Museum of Modern art and The Library of Congress. She lives in the Northampton area just 2 hours west of Boston and 3 1/2 hours from N.Y.C. This series of 20 images are from her recent travels in the Caribbean.
