In response to a growing climate of discrimination against women and other marginalized people in the United States, artist Julie Lapping Rivera began a series of portraits highlighting women who were often unsung in their time. This ongoing portfolio of woodcut and collage portraits offers an uplifting, positive, and inclusive message to visitors. It was originally inspired by The New York Times “Overlooked” series, which since March of 2018 has been sharing the stories of remarkable people who were overlooked by the Times’ obituaries in the past.

Artist Julie Lapping Rivera is a Massachusetts-based printmaker, collage artist, and educator. She began her career as a teaching artist in NYC. She is a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship recipient, and in 2022 was awarded a guest artist residency fellowship to Scoula Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy.

ARTIST TALK: March 20, 6 PM
Printmaker Julie Lapping Rivera discusses Look Again: Portraits of Daring Women, her series of woodcut and collage portraits honoring overlooked women from history. Inspired by The New York Times “Overlooked” project, the work pairs each portrait with original bilingual poetry by diverse female poets, and brief biographies of each subject, celebrating creativity, resilience and inclusion across cultures and centuries. Drawing on her extensive career as an educator and artist, Rivera will discuss how her practice responds to contemporary issues of discrimination while amplifying the inspiring legacies of remarkable women across centuries and cultures.

Inherited Impressions is a cohesive body of printmaking work that explores lineage, cultural inheritance, and the act of remembering through the hand. Working primarily in woodcut, with select Tetra Pak intaglio prints, Liz Ortiz uses carving as both a physical and symbolic process, where each mark becomes a record of labor, memory, and intention.

Drawing from Mexican visual traditions and personal familial history, the exhibition presents figures, patterns, and symbols that reflect heritage as something carried forward rather than fixed in the past. Scale, repetition, and materiality play a central role, emphasizing the relationship between body, memory, and printmaking as a time-based practice.
Through the layered process of carving and printing, Inherited Impressions honors ancestry while allowing space for reinterpretation and growth. Each print functions as an imprint of presence, acknowledging the ways heritage is inherited, remembered, and continually reimagined through creative practice.

Liz Ortiz is a Fort Collins-based printmaker and the founder of Mad Hare Press. Working primarily with woodcut, linocut, and Tetra Pak intaglio techniques, her practice explores identity, belonging, and cultural memory through bold imagery and tactile materials. Ortiz’s work often draws from personal and ancestral narratives, using printmaking as a method of preservation and storytelling. Through accessible printmaking practices and community-centered art making, she is committed to honoring process, lineage, and shared history.

SeeSaw Gallery presents Material Attention, an exhibition of new works in embroidery and print collage featuring artists Lucy Holtsnider and Nora Schuchat, on view from March 14 to April 19, 2026.

Their practices include deliberate explorations of how forms accumulate, repeat, and transform through patient, hand-driven processes. Through iterations and repetitions, pairs and symmetries, their pieces navigate the tension between organic and geometric forms. They embrace shifts in scale, material, texture, and color to reveal the inherent dualities within physical and emotional matter.

Last summer I took a reset in my creative process. A way to find myself, or to find new versions of myself.  Through a series of mono prints and types, I found new mental trails to explore. Each piece took me on its own gentle path- finding stretches of color, texture, and points of light I hadn't visited in some time. In making this work I realized all the subtle ways printmaking informs the way I create.
Ecosystems feels like an apt name because:
A: these different creative paths felt like new worlds opening up.
and
B: its the name of a diptych from this series.

Join us for the opening April 2nd and get a little lost with me.

Nowruz is the name of a series of photograms inspired by the celebration of renewal and new beginnings. This printmaking project, toned with the shadows of plants, began with the desire to create a celebratory project in collaboration with friends living in two different countries. We connected through a video composed of my photographic series and a lament played alongside a sculptural performance. The lament was written by a mother who lost her son, and I added my self-portrait holding a rocket root that I gathered from the garden. This root represents death but also brings new life. I took all the plants with their roots and printed photograms that reflect the meaning of Nowruz, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness.

ARTIST TALK: April 26, 7 PM
