“Cosmic Landscape” @justine.ditto I was first introduced to lithography via Ron Wyffels in my undergraduate studies at PAFA. I immediately fell in love with drawing on stones. It’s such a sculptural way of drawing that makes you approach the image from different and interesting ways. I especially loved counter-etching and reworking an image multiple times. “Phasing” @justine.ditto I was introduced to Peter Haarz in Ron’s class and worked as a press assistant at Petrichor Press for a while during college. Ron and Peter encouraged me to attend Tamarind, which I did in 2019. Now I get to professionally work as a collaborative printer myself. @peter.haarz @petrichorpress @ronwyffels @tamarindinstitute @pafacademy @pafaprint @brandywine.workshop “Ancient Portal” @justine.ditto As a printmaker I deal in objects. These objects yield remnants or impressions – the print itself is a kind of artifact existing as a testament to the mystique of the object. I see the act of art-making as artifact-making, as if I were a contemporary troglodyte leaving my tools and evidence for later peoples to discover and deem as relics to be coveted. This same interest translates into my subject-matter. I generally depict architectural structures, terrains, and map-like diagrams/charts. I feel that the terms object, artifact, and monument can be interchangeable conceptually in the sense that they have an artful uselessness – a utility that applies only in the intellectual sense – and a powerful, almost figurative presence. I want the objects and structures I create to have this sense of depth and a kind of ambiguity that allows multiple meanings. My images are influenced by ancient and modern architecture, astronomic and microscopic forms, landscape and organic processes, and constructs from imagination. I like to seek out the crossover between natural and man-made – where the conglomerate product has a unique multiplicity or mystery. When constructing fantastical landscapes, I’m chasing the mystical essence that comes from the energy, shapes, symbols, and near personhood that we bring to our environments.

"Women should be someone and not something." — Mary Cassatt Sounds like a cute social media quote, right? It's not. And honestly, the story behind it is even better. Cassatt, a PAFA alumna and one of the most influential American artists of her time, wrote those words while praising Bertha Honoré Palmer, a collector, patron, and advocate for women in the arts. What Cassatt admired wasn't just Palmer's success. It was her belief that women should be recognized for what they contribute, not just where they fit in society. More than a century later, Cassatt's legacy and advocacy still resonates. Women artists continue to shape the future of the arts through their work, teaching, and mentorship. Interested in learning from them? Take a class with one of PAFA's Continuing Education women artist instructors this fall and learn alongside a community of artists inspired by curiosity and continuous growth.

Kicked off summer 2026 co-curating with my inspiration and friend @distant_drummerrr to bring her vision “We “ the People and PrintLab: Material Futures to life at the iconic @brandywine.workshop ✨💙 this exhibition was amazing thanks to Alicia’s fabulous eye. It made writing the exhibition text and catalogue about the BWA residencies and the diversity that makes up Philadelphia’s neighborhoods locally and historically all the more rewarding. Thank you to @halimatahaproarts for the beautiful opening of the catalogue addressing BWA’s illustrious history, @pafacademy curator @micdonnelly23 for the collaborative work across institutions contextualized in print, @aampmuseum curator @michaelkwilsonart for speaking to the work of @lavaughnbelle in the context of the Caribbean and Latin diasporas, historian @morgantailored for her words regarding the precious and proud indigenous communities that ground our nation and region, and @summer_azul for your oversight and editing! None of this would be possible without the leadership and vision of Rebecca Morrison and Allan Edmunds either. You’re all amazing 👏🏾 “We” the People & PrintLab: Material Futures are on view July 17 - October 26, 2026 PrintLab: Material Futures is supported by the @pewcenterarts #zindzine #curator #exhibition #editorial #museum
