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.
