Printmaking has always been about touching the surface—scratching, carving, inking, or pressing to bring an image to life. Disturbing the Surface celebrates this spirit of transformation, showcasing work by members of the American Color Print Society. To create a print, each artist alters a surface—a metal plate, woodblock, lithographic stone, or digital file. This modification, once transferred to paper, results in a final work as varied in mood and meaning as the techniques and artists themselves. The exhibition spans traditional and contemporary approaches, from etching and lithography to cyanotype, risograph, digital printmaking, relief, and screenprint. Visitors will find everything from bold, graphic compositions to delicate, layered impressions—proof that printmaking remains a vital and endlessly adaptable art form.

“Painting people has always been my favorite subject. Through portraiture, I strive to reveal how a person’s behaviors, experiences, and spirit can be reflected visually. I work with a variety of media on wood, allowing the surface itself to influence the outcome. My process is both chaotic and calming. I merge memories with reference materials such as books and music, creating a dialogue between intuition and structure. The work unfolds through a cycle of adding and removing, I paint, scrape away, and then apply more paint, repeating this rhythm for hours. Once the image emerges, I refine it with a fine brush, delicately layering details to bring the portrait to life.”
