Artist Demo: Collagraph Printmaking with Karen Dubrovsky

October 15, 2025
Wednesday 10:30am - 12pm

Join us for a demonstration of Karen’s printmaking process. She will show how she takes what some might see as trash and uses it to make prints with an etching-like effect. Utilizing Tetra Pak and mat board to make collagraph plates that have depth and texture, she will show how to also incorporate color through inking and paper collage. A slide presentation of her artwork and inspiration will include her painting and drawing pieces as well, showcasing her love of vintage items, pattern, and nature.

Karen Dubrovsky explores the connections we have with old things and the feeling of nostalgia. With an interest in the idea of collections, she is focused on the feeling you get when you connect with an object and how to honor the object outside of the physical piece. Having been an architect for over twenty years, she is now focusing her passion for art and design on her own artistic work. Through her work in printmaking, oil painting, and drawing, she seeks to capture the feeling of charm and delight. Currently working towards her MFA at Mass Art, she is focusing on printmaking as her work evolves. Her work has been included in shows throughout Massachusetts including Concord Art’s 25th Annual Frances N. Roddy Exhibition and Members Juried 2: Collage, Crafts, Drawing, Graphics, Mixed Media, Photography, Printmaking 2025.
