Mary Ann de Buy Wenniger

As a collagraph print maker my imagery is narrative; I tell my stories. Each moment I treasure is memorialized in a one of a kind Collagraph.

Collagraphs

Each collagraph print is uniquely colored. It becomes a separate exclusive monoprint oil painting. A collagraph is a collage of materials of various textures glued onto a printing base (plate), then oil painted and transfered to rag paper by means of an intaglio press.

Current Series Aprons With Attitude

At Wenniger Cottage Gallery, we push boundaries in what excellent printmaking can look like.

A Sampling of my Work

Lighthouses

Lighthouses are known through the years as BEACONS of HOPE to the Ancient sea men and now to us. Oceans are great bodies of water in which I am fascinated with the waves lapping the shores. The harbors of the north shore are enchanting in all seasons.

People at Work & Play

Series of people at work and play. Technology prompted me to explore the simplicity of people working with their hands; boat builders, sewers, cooks, grocers.

Clotheslines

The clothesline is a recurring theme in Wenniger collagraphs, recalling nostalgic ideas of family activities and chores, who did what and when and was it fun or a burden. Since I was a teenager and took down clothes, I’ve loved the freshness and energy of clothes on the line.

Coves

There are 27 coves on the peninsula called Cape Ann. They are not harbors. These coves are small sheltered bodies of water, with three sides surrounded by ganite boulders and craggy overgrowths.

Flowers

Expressive flowers. I use real flowers that have been dried, most often under a rug, and these are expressive works; sometimes with birds and sometimes with vases. Each seasons flowers convey a different mood.

Seasonal Landscapes

All season landscapes. These are my impressions as I have lived through seasons here in New England.; Summer beaches and flower gardens, Fall walking through the woods using real bark to make trees on my plates, Winter icy branches and stunning sunsets, and Spring grasses and flowers full of light and color. Sometimes as recently as today I would pick some buds or tiny blossoms and add them to a plate.
