About the Instructor

Loree Ovens (she/her) works in a variety of media, including printmaking where she creates works on paper that are reminiscent of old documents or aged textiles. She specializes in intaglio techniques; especially etching, aquatint, drypoint and collagraph. Primarily working with Japanese Washi and often combining the use of surface design techniques for textiles, Loree’s fascination with line, pattern, and architecture continues to inspire her work.

Her work is part of both private and public collections including the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, National Bank, Art Gallery of New South Wales, SGC International and Richardson Wealth.
