” A monotype is really
a painting done by the artist, in my case with lithography inks, onto a printing
plate. This painting is then transferred onto 100% rag paper through an etching
press. I work on a drawing composition
first, then use that composition as a basis for creating a series of works
repeating or changing colors and design elements as I go. Some images may
be similar to each other, but each is painted on to the plate freeform by
my own hand, with ever changing color and technique. There is no edition,
therefore each piece is unique.”

Quotes from the press
Monotype on Paper 2007
“Kate
McGuinness passionately loves her work and the process involved.
She is truly one of the most openly passionate artists I have met
in a long time. When asked why she chose printmaking over painting,
she quickly responded ‘I love ink, I always have.’ McGuinness’ provocative
compositions represent pure spontaneity. Her art is dazzling.” Sandra
Phillips, LODO NEWS
“The
colors and figures created by Katharine are driven by music. French
rap, techno, opera, and more ripple their way through the studio
as she composes her own art. The colors she mixes seem more than
willing to perform for her.”
“Her latest works
create an intoxicating landscape comparable to the works of Rothko.” Matthew
Gustafson, COLORADO HOMES Magazine
