PAPERWORKS 3:  A Must-See Printmaking Exhibit at Ladysmith Gallery

Printmakers of the Salish Sea are proud to present PaperWorks 3, a group exhibition and sale of original prints created by members of the artists collective.

NOvember 20-29, 2026

PaperWorks features an extensive array of works of eight printmakers who create using a range of printmaking methods in non-toxic print studios in communities of the Salish Sea.  Hand-pulled or hand-burnished, each piece is an expression of both passion and appreciation for printmaking and the environment.  In this year’s PaperWorks, Anne Jones, Dorothy Friesen, Kirsty Henderson, Leona Petrak, Leslie Mobbs, Lorie Therres, Louise Slobodan, and Nora Layard will offer an inspiring showcase of over 150 works influenced by their coastal environment, personal histories, and a never ending curiosity.  

These printmakers share a love of this visual art form which offers opportunity to develop ideas in a myriad of ways.  From deeply personal expressions, emotive representational works, to wildly energetic abstracted pieces, each piece is an original work of art created by either Intaglio or Relief printmaking method such as Drypoint, Collagraph, Reduction and Monotype.  The printmakers work using these traditional techniques though with freedom to experiment, at times working with other media and painterly techniques.  Their pieces range in size and price points, framed or unframed: also available are original one-of-a-kind cards and other items created with printmaking.
