The inkspots of San Buenaventura are a group of artists dedicated to creating original prints using
a variety of techniques including etching, collagraph, linocut, monoprint, monotype, woodblock,
and digital manipulation.
“Press On” exhibit will include the works of artists Christina Altfeld, Beverly Decker, Virginia
Furmanski, Rosemarie C. Gebhart, Judy Gibbs, Bay Howell, Tiger Huang, Colleen M. Kelly,
Sandra McCullough, Inés Monguió, Leslie Plimpton and Monica Wiesblott. Their individual
styles are as unique as the artists themselves.
These artists hail from Ventura, Ojai, Summerland, and Santa Barbara—with some members
participating in additional organizations such as the Los Angeles Printmaking Society, the
California Society of Printmakers, and the Santa Barbara Printmakers.
The inkspots present their annual group exhibition at 643 Project Space each November. In
addition to their work in the gallery, the inkspots collaborate on an annual folio or book project.
The folio this year will include a limited edition print by each artist and will be offered for sale.
There will also be a FREE drawing for the inkspots 2018 Folio and this will take place at the
Opening Reception on November 2nd (during the First Friday ArtWalk) at 7:00 p.m.
