“Doing What Comes Naturally”April Vollmer / Woodblock Prints August 9 - September 7 Vollmer’s complex mandela patterns are often planned on the computer, but the technique is centuries old. She prints her images in the ancient Japanese water-base , moku hanga technique. Her imagery is delcate and lyrical with a strong sense of design. The delicacy of her work is as strong as a spiders web, and equally as entrapping. Vollmer exhibits and demonstrates Japanese woodblock at The Brooklyn Botanical Garden’s Cherry Blossom Festival, every year since 2004. Her work has been published in “Printmaking Today” and “Contemporary Impressions”. She has exhibited at Cheryl McGnnis Gallery in NYC, Phillips Museum of Art, Silicon Gallery, and internationally.
