ZACHARY GILMOUR
Zachary Gilmour works in monotype, monoprint, drypoint, mezzotint, drawing and painting. He uses overlaid transparencies of color and form, to allow what could be considered mistakes or accidents to show and gradually evolve into parts of the image. Gilmour sees the relationships between colors as elicitors of powerful emotions that are linked to particular remembered moments:
“Our memories only hold on to fragments, of color and form (of what we have witnessed)...What interests me is laying down some record of those fragments (of the land and people who are constantly in flux around us.)...“Color is my key trigger for finding the connection to memories.”
Originally from Mill Valley, Gilmour earned his BFA in printmaking from California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of Art), and teaches art in the Bay Area. He lives with his wife and son in Forest Knolls, California.
NORA PAUWELS
Nora Pauwels is an internationally recognized printmaker, focusing primarily on etching. Originally from Belgium, where she was educated in fine arts and fine art restoration, Pauwels is noted for her exploration of unusual means of creating intaglio prints, such as using the Dremel tool with various plexigravure processes. In 2004 she began drawing exclusively and has only recently returned to printmaking, which she now aims to infuse with the immediacy of drawing.
Her work is included in the Frans Mazereel Grafiek Collection in Belgium, the Achenbach Collection in San Francisco, and the New York Public Library. In 2009, she received a commission from The City of Emeryville’s Arts in Public Places Program to exhibit her drawings in four new bus shelters. A Kala Artist-In-Residence, Pauwels has created several portfolios of prints that have been collected both nationally and internationally. Nora lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area.
