A Garden of Impressions:
Monotypes and Paintings
May 3 - June 1


Artist Reception: Sat. May 3 from 5-8 pm. Free

We open the 2025 year with an exhibit by mother-daughter artists, Carol Imes Luscombe and Kathryn Kain who are both independent artists who have an on going collaborative practice.
 

Here’s how they work:

Monotypes are made by both artists collaborating as equal partners using actual plant materials which have been foraged from gardens, wetlands, weed patches, etc.

 

After selecting and inking plants They layer rolled inks and inked plants following their intuition and experience. Imes Luscombe and Kain strive for a fresh immediacy as they engage in active discussion and participation at every stage of

the work. The prints are executed on carefully chosen printmaking papers and multiple runs through the press until the image is acceptable to both artists. Their images are fanciful and informal documentation of the botanical specimens found in their immediate environment.

​

More about each artist:

Carol Imes Luscombe: “The decision to attend the University of Toledo after raising my four children and pursue a fine arts degree was life changing. I received a BFA degree, cum laude in 1980, then entered the MFA graduate program at the

University of Michigan, graduating in 1983. Upon graduating I opened a printmaking studio in downtown Toledo, Ohio where she worked and taught until moving in 2016 to Catawba Island, Ohio, opening a new studio.”

​

Kathryn Kain:  Born in Toledo, Ohio, Kathryn Kain works from the San Francisco Bay area. After coursework at Cleveland Institute of Art, Toledo University and Arizona State University in painting and sculpture she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with distinction in printmaking at San Jose State University.
