Maren Oates | Artist

I've started working a day a week in the printmaking studio @schackartcenter in Everett, WA.

It's been nice to have a little more space to work with this large plate. I'm grateful to have space for art in my home, but it can get a little tight.

The hardest thing is managing supplies in two places. 🤪 I was happy to see a good selection of heavy books, so I didn't have to schlep them from home to weight this one down while the paint was dying.

I kept this one a bit simpler and embraced the primary color scheme from the Bingo box that started this whole series.

Next step...a little embroidery work. 🪡
