Clare Metague

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.

Relief printing often is the best vehicle to express the images that come to mind. However, sometimes etchings or monoprints are the preferred technique.
