"Old San Juan" Linoleum Block $350 More Details	"Island Home" Linoleum Block $200 More Details	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.

About Titaniumarts.com
We encourage you to enjoy all four parts of our website. You may be wondering why there is this unusual combination of printmaking ,rings, handcycles and bicycle art.

Mike and Leni are a husband and wife team and are avid mountain bikers and have been in the bike industry for over 20 years. Leni has also used her art expertise to paint bicycles. Mike has sold over 700 titanium rings at first mostly to cyclists, but recently to people who just want something unique. Stay in touch! Leni will be adding more artwork as time permits. If you are interested in other work besides her Caribbean series, please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail. Thanks for your interest.

About Printmaking

Working on location in Culebra, P.R.

Linoleum Block Printing

Linoleum was invented in England in the late 1860’s to be used as a floorcovering material. Subsequently it was discovered by artists as an excellent surface for carving and printing. Since it is relatively soft with no grain it can be easily carved in any direction with different size gouges. First a drawing is done and transferred to the linoleum. A separate plate is carved for each color and the plates are printed in succession so one color can register over the other. The most sensitive way to print a linoleum plate is to use a thin and strong sheet of Japanese paper and print them by hand. The back is rubbed with a barren or spoon. Since a press is not needed this is the ideal printmaking method to use for traveling! Linoleum prints are limited edition multiples.

Monoprint

Monoprints have been made throughout history ,but have been embraced recently by contemporary artists in the past 20 years. Leni has been making monoprints and developing her own technique since she first learned about printmaking in 1980 at Pratt Institute. The biggest difference between a monoprint and other techniques is that it is one-of-a-kind. This fact alone explains the differences in price. When Leni makes a monoprint she makes many separate cutouts from a thin material. These cutouts are inked one at a time using rollers and brushes and then put together onto a background plate. The technique is somewhat like building a collage. The whole composition is then printed using an etching press. The cutouts can be re-used to make a related series, but no two prints are exactly alike.

Collagraph

Collagraph means printed collage. The plate is made of matt board. Matt board consists of many layers of fiber laminated together. It is possible to carve matt board and peel away layers using an xacto knife. You can also glue textured materials to the plate as well. The plate is sealed with a polymer medium and then printed using an etching press. Leni studied collagraph technique with Clare Romano. Clare is one of the pioneers of the collagraph and is well known for her artwork and excellent books, The Complete Printmaker and Collagraph Printing. Collagraphs are printed as multiples and if the plate is well made they can last for up to 50 prints or more.
