Mary Twomey's mixed media monotypes explore various themes and stages in life. The images are inspired by life experiences, myths and travel and are expressed through the use of color, texture, symbols, words and collage materials. She starts with a vague idea or concept and, as materials are manipulated, an idea takes shape and form. Ms. Twomey usually starts working in a monotype medium. This process consists of painting an image on a plastic plate then transferring that image to paper by running the plate through an etching press. This technique allows for experimentation and chance discovery – she’s never quite sure what the end result will be. The printed image may be further developed with drawing materials and paint to complete the idea. She also works with solarplate etchings, linoleum and wood block prints, silk aquatint, and mixed media. Ms. Twomey has been creating art for over 35 years and was an art educator in the public school system for 34 years. Her work has been exhibited in many juried shows and galleries throughout Long Island.
