This summer
Vera Gierke
took two workshops that explored new avenues for her work…
1 -
Gyotaku
, (above) also called Fish Printing, which started long ago as a way to make a record of fish that were caught, but within the past century this tradition has been turned into an artform.
2 -
Paper Marbling
(below) in which patterns are created by floating various paints on the surface of water with a surfactant added to help the paint to move into various patterns. The paint pattern is then transferred to either paper or fabric. Each print is unique.

Do you like the art you see?
Great! As a group, we lease our art and sell our portfolios. We would be happy to talk with you about how we can provide high-quality art in your residential or corporate environment. Additionally, all our group activities complement and enhance the exhibiting, publishing, licensing and selling activities that we do as individual artists.
Are you interested in joining 19 on Paper?
Based on the group’s size and composition, we invite artists to be members. After an informal discussion about interests and expectations, those invited are asked to share a representative set of their paper-based work, a resume highlighting their artistic experience, and any other material that could assist with the group’s membership decision. Since we value exchange, collaboration, and continuity, consistent participation in our monthly meetings and group activities is an important membership commitment.
