“ A Monotype is really a painting done by the artist, in my case with lithography inks, onto a printing plate. This painting is then transferred onto 100% rag paper through an etching press. I work on a drawing composition first, then use that composition as a basis for creating a series of works repeating or changing colors and design elements as I go. Some images may be similar to each other, but each is painted onto the plate freeform by my own hand, with ever changing color and technique. There is no edition, each piece is unique.”

From The Press
“Kate McGuinness passionately loves her work and the process involved. She is truly one of the most passionate artists I have met in a long time. When asked why she chose printmaking over painting, she quickly responded, ‘I love ink, I always have.’ McGuinness’ provocative compositions represent pure spontaneity. Her art is dazzling.”
