Nationally known book artist and printmaker Dore Page uses the principles of typography to define a unique fine art form. She creates prints using modern folk-art techniques, printing from wood-blocks, pieces of fabric, or just about anything else that offers up a printable pattern. Traditional hand-letterpress and silk screen printing conbine to give her works distinctive contemporary appeal. Each artwork print undergoes as many as 50 individual printing operations. This labor-intensive quality of the process and the extremely low number of prints in each edition make her works unique and very collectible. Dore's work is in many collections throughout the world including the Museum of Modern Art, Brown University, and a special collection dedicated just to her at the University of Rhode Island. Her work also appears under the publication name of Paul Woodbine Editions. 

Dore was appointed University of Rhode Island 's Printer in Residence in 2002. Dore's artwork is represented by Breslin Fine Arts, Inc. and she is currently establishing a print studio at the BFA Studioworks Gallery & Artist Workspace at the Historic Pontiac Mills, Warwick, RI.
