During September and October, Martha Piscuskas will be exhibiting both linocuts and wood block prints. Starting in 2000, she learned various printmaking methods during her time co-founding and directing Waterfall Arts, a community arts center in Belfast and Rockland. Last year she concentrated her creative time on making small and larger relief prints and considers herself an advanced beginner. She worked with Scott Minzy, and Lyell Castonguay of Big Ink, here in Maine and Merlyn Chesterman in the UK, a master printer on the Council of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.

Martha has lived in Liberty within walking distance of the library since 1988. She holds a BFA in sculpture from MECA&D and currently works at the Maine Arts Commission. The library will host a reception for Martha on Thursday, September 17, from 5:00-7:00pm. Everyone is welcome.
Prints that are for sale will be available, unframed, after the exhibit has completed, and can be mailed in a flat envelope or tube, depending on size. A portion of sales will go to the Liberty Library.
