Contemporary Printmakers
Making Our Mark
February 25 - March 24, 2026
The “Making Our Mark 2026” exhibition showcases contemporary printmaking, an art form that incorporates diverse techniques such as woodcut, engraving, etching, screen-printing, and lithography. Depending on the artwork, the artist may utilize digital printing technology or employ traditional printing presses.
Additional techniques featured include woodcut, one of the earliest and most straightforward printmaking methods, which involves carving an image into a wooden block; linocut, which utilizes a layer of linoleum typically mounted on a wooden block; intaglio, a technique that employs an image cut into a plate surface; engraving, a method that uses a metal plate; etching, which employs acid to create an image on a metal plate coated with an acid-resistant medium; and stenciling, a process that involves printing through openings in a material or a cutout design.

Bua Berg
March 15-May 15, 2026
Bua’s Fine Arts was started by Bua Berg after she moved to the United States from Thailand. She trained in classical and academic painting, then developed her own technique and continued to expand her skills through ongoing study and practice. Later she began working in contemporary styles, discovering that art does not always need to depict literal things but can convey feeling, meaning, and value on its own. Bua regards art as a form of beauty and an essential part of the human spirit and cultural expression, believing it to be therapeutic and a source of comfort and reflection. She applies her abilities both to create original works and to complete commissioned pieces for clients. In addition, she practices photography, design, illustration, drawing, ceramics, and mosaics to broaden and enrich her artistic range and creative perspective.
