Background

About Jane Pagliarulo

Jane Pagliarulo received her BFA in printmaking from University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1987. A year of study at Exeter College of Art and Design led to extensive travel in Europe, working as an artist in London and Italy. From 1989 to 1996 she worked as a fine art printer at Hand Graphics in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she printed lithographs, woodcuts, etchings, and photogravures. As head Monotype printer she worked one-on-one in creative collaboration with artists who had tremendously varied conceptual and technical approaches. These painters influenced her own prints, and the high desert landscape became inspiration. In 1996 Pagliarulo moved to Oregon, working as a reforestation technician and outdoor guide. She co-founded a printmaking workshop in Hood River, and worked as an artist in residence. In 2007 she moved the press to Portland and started Atelier Meridian, a collaborative membership printmaking studio. As master printer, Jane teaches printmaking workshops in monotype, etching, woodcut and collagraph, and performs contract printing of editions and assisted monotype sessions. She also facilitates memberships for other printmakers. Her own prints usually take the form of monotypes and collagraphs, and the landscape continues to be an influence. She exhibits nationally and is represented in Portland by the Portland Art Museum Rental Sales Gallery and Print Arts Northwest, where she also serves as a member of the board. Specialties: Monotype, collagraph, encaustic monotype, photopolymer gravure, woodcut, letterpress.
