Printmaking — whether intaglio, lithography, silkscreen, woodcuts, or other formats — is a process of transferring a drawing to a form of relief and then to multiple hand-made images. At its core is drawing and color, although photography is often used now as well. As with other fine arts media, this is a personal and expressive art form driven by the artist’s individual interests. Work is usually sold through galleries and other commercial venues, and will also appear in museums.

Orit Hofshi | Fine Artist

“I feel the impact of the PAFA experience on my growth as an artist transcends the obvious: sharpening skills, acquiring tools and learning a great deal from lectures and discussions,” states Hofshi. “I think it was after the second year at PAFA, when I realized that my artwork and ongoing research were a way of life and part of me, and not just a mode of expression. I understood both my personal circumstances and the wide array of local and international events are inherent in my creative process.”
