About the Instructor:
Ouida is an artist and printmaker living in Delta, Colorado. Her work explores two passions: socially conscious narratives about bold women—mythical or from the American West—and the beauty of observed life, interpreted through a graphic, image-making lens. More than a printmaker or painter, she strives to create work that is remarkable and visually engaging. Ouida enjoys teaching printmaking and painting at colleges and community workshops, sharing her expertise in techniques ranging from woodcut and reduction printing to chine collé and monoprinting. She works from her well-lit studio in a turn-of-the-century bungalow, where she also cultivates a garden and creative space. Her work has been exhibited nationally and is represented by Mixx Atelier (Telluride, CO), Artful Home (Madison, WI), Tubac Art and Gifts Gallery (Tubac, AZ), Kalisher Art Publishing (Carrboro, NC), and MakeWest Art Publishing (Denver, CO). You can find her work at: www.ouidatouchon.com
