Monoprint.
I learned this technique of monoprint this summer at a workshop in Victoria, BC. The image is printed on a press in transparent layers... First yellow, then red, then blue, to create all the colour that is shown.

Artist's Biography
Biography of Mary Mottishaw
Mary Mottishaw currently lives in Dawson Creek, BC. The Peace River landscape inspires her to create and says she would love to be part of that ongoing conversation about whether or not Canadian artists are uniquely influenced by their land and climate. Oil painting and various forms of printmaking are her first loves, but Mary is also interested in using mixed media if that’s what a particular piece calls for.
Mary holds a certificate in Visual Arts from Northern Lights College, Dawson Creek, 2006 and is a member of the South Peace Art Society, participating in their semi-annual exhibits at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery.
Mary received an Honourable Mention in the 2006 Peace Liard Regional Juried Art Exhibit, as well as the Recognition Award at the same show in 2007 for “Woodpecker,” an aquatint and chine colle.
Her collagraph print, “Green in Winter” was chosen for the 2007 Northern Lights College Christmas card. Mary also participated in the show “Visual Voices” at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery in 2008 with fellow artists Mary Parslow and Dori Braun.
She was part of another trio at the Peace Gallery North in Fort St. John in 2008 when she showed “Peace Printmakers and Friends” with Cindy Vincent and Mary Parslow.
“After the Harvest” was accepted to a juried show sponsored by Art of the Peace in Grande Prairie in 2009.
Tuesdays throughout 2009 find her at Picture It in Dawson Creek with Mary Parslow as artists in residence “The Two Marys."
Along with Mary Parslow, Mary teaches beginner print making in the Peace River area.
The works Mary shows are in a variety of mediums and her hope is that they will stimulate conversation.
