Three local printmakers are sharing the Cedarburg Cultural Center's artist-in-residency in October.
Jack Pachuta, Jewell Riano Bradley and Susan Steinhafel are all studio artists at Paul Yank’s Ozaukee Art Center.
The three will join Yank in a monoprint/collagraph exhibit Oct. 19-Nov. 26. The opening reception is planned for Monday, Oct. 23.
Pachuta takes a nontraditional approach. Combining printmaking techniques with craftsmanship of pencil and ink renderings, his works are known for their vibrant colors and unique textures.
Riano Bradley, former art educator and school administrator, has returned to her love of art. Her artworks, whether realistic or abstract, are filled with images inspired by the art media and process itself.
Steinhafel is a Utah native, with degrees in fine art, advertising, commercial design and photography. She is an award-winning photographer. She describes printmaking as a meditative art form that draws out the artist’s emotions. Her printmaking has a soft style of straightforward simplicity and spot-on composition.

Workshop
Riano Bradley will hold a collagraph printmaking workshop from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, at the CCC.
Participants will each make a collagraph print, a collage print defined as a relief printing process. Express your creativity by designing a collage, gluing differently textured materials, such as cut paper shapes, fabric, and string to cardboard. The collage then becomes your printing plate. Finish your work of art with a layer of stenciling and colored pencils. All materials included. Cost: $45 for members, $54 for nonmembers
