This program is in-person and members-only

Please join us for a December 18, 11:00am, visit with artist Rosemary Feit Covey. Rosemary’s studio is located in the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria.

Rosemary will talk on her evolution from a classically trained printmaker to her current experimental work, creating large scale pieces from wood engraving blocks, printing on a used Vandercook press, that was formerly used for proofing, at the Bureau of Engraving combined with printing on large scale commercial printers. She will explain how science and medicine have informed her work for the last twenty years and how her work is constantly shifting technically and thematically.
