Barbara said, "Using my press, with the weight of the steel rollers, at about 400 pounds each, the pressure transfers the ink from the plate to the paper. It will also emboss texture, such as lace or natural material such as leaves onto the print." When the image is transferred from the plate onto the paper it creates a one-of a kind print, known as a Monotype. In 2004, Barbara exhibited her oil paintings and monotypes in 17 shows and will also participate in the 12th annual Studio Discovery Tour on September 4, 5, 11, and 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Barbara is also the current President of the North Coast Artistsâ Guild. Paula Gregerson will display and sell her unique wooden boxes. Be sure to stop by the reception for complimentary hors dâoeuvres, wine, lively conversation, and great art!

The
Dolphin Gallery presents artists Barbara E. Kelley and Paula Gregerson
with an opening reception on Labor Day weekend, Saturday, September 4,
from 5 to 7 p.m. Barbara will be showing recent monotypes, created at her
Moon Catcher Studio at The Sea Ranch. Her one-of-a-kind monotypes being
shown at The Dolphin are created by applying etching and lithographic inks
on a zinc, copper or Plexiglas plate, using brayers or brushes. Barbara
designs the picture with various tools or paints a picture with brushes,
as she does when creating an oil or acrylic painting on canvas, or
combines the two techniques.
