paintings and prints

by jo ann gentle

                                   JO ANN GENTLE has been a professional artist/designer/craftswoman since 1971. The works of this versatile artist have included watercolor painting, sculpture and functional pottery. Her work has been exhibited at fine craft galleries in principal cities throughout the Northeast and she has been featured in Country Living Magazine. In the newest chapter of her creative career, Ms. Gentle has expanded into white line woodblock printmaking. This process is both artistic and creative while demanding an incredible amount of precision. Each color is painted on the woodblock and then printed onto paper separately. Because this is such a long, exacting procedure, I will typically work on more than one design at a time. She has also taught pottery in a variety of settings, including the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY and Finger Lakes Community College. She maintains a studio in Rochester New York.
