Megan Broughton
I make experimental copperplate etchings informed by studies in the Arctic. These prints provide a contemplative space for people far from the Poles to situate themselves within these critically at-risk systems.
Javier Chalini
Creating images is an exploration of profound understanding of what I have lived or learned but hadn’t made fully conscious.
Margaret E. Murray
Margaret E. Murray is inspired by living next to the vast, relentless Pacific. Her printmaking work aims to bring attention to the beauty and wonder of natural environments, with a focus on oceans, sea life, and marshland habitats.
Greg Borman
I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, making art and spending nights at a cavernous punk club in Kentucky.
Karn Knutson
My work is what’s going on in and outside my mind. How I see the world and the interactions of people with their existence.

Kelsey Lesko
Massachusetts born, Virginia raised. I believe that design has a social and cultural purpose to help others, to inform, and to inspire.
Kelley Michelucci
I began printmaking during my first year at Sonoma State in 2010 and fell in love with drawing with a fine needle on a plate to be etched.
Mark Brodie
Photography had been my primary artistic outlet for the last 30 years but I’ve always had an appreciation for works on paper, so I was not surprised to find myself combining the two processes using photography with photopolymer plates, also referred to as solarplates.
Vina Jane Cames

Richard V. Correll

Melanie Dorson
My most recent prints are aquatints based on my daily pen-and-ink mandala drawings. These images are influenced by my love of illustrated children’s literature and often work in combination to form dreamlike narrative sequences.
Elan Kamesar
My work is primarily in linoleum cut and lithography, and I am forever fascinated and mystified by the process of developing imagery through a series of steps on intermediary surfaces to finally arrive at the final piece, untouched directly by my own hand.
Alice Gibbons
I like to inquire into the relationships that we have with our environment; what we do with it, and what we leave behind in it.
Louise Gilbert
Louise Gilbert assisted Anton Refregier with his mural at the Rincon Annex Post Office and later became a founding member of the Graphic Arts Workshop in San Francisco. She used her art to rally support for the peace movement, environmental causes, women's and gay and lesbian rights, farm workers, and unions.
Mariko Jesse
My work tends to explore my ideas about identity and mixed heritage, and I often use and create patterns, as their visual language can express emotions and carry cultural meanings in subtle ways.
Stanley Koppel
Stanley Koppel: Shortly after the end of the Second World War, San Francisco became a major center for liberal and leftist artists.

Inspiration for the prints below comes from a variety of sources; stories shared by my mother of her life growing up on a ranch outside of Managua, Nicaragua in the 1940’s, personal trips taken to tropical locations, and primitive art of Africa and Oceania.

My works on paper begin at the printing press, with multiple runs or plates, and often take the final form as collages.
