Jaclyn Janis

I began printmaking in January 2023 at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, VA. I returned to my home in Scarborough in 2024, and I now work out of my studio at Running With Scissors in Portland, Maine.

 

In my work I seek to share my experiences with the natural world, and in doing so, give myself the opportunity to slow life down by constructing images cut by cut and layer by layer.

​

My pieces are all hand-drawn, hand-carved, and hand-pulled. I do mostly reduction woodblock and linocut printmaking, where several layers of ink are applied to create the final image, and the block is destroyed in the process. For more information about printmaking, please see here.
