Cameron Bailey is an artist and printmaker specializing in water-based woodblock printmaking. He studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art and began printmaking in 2016. Primarily working in a multi-layer reduction technique, Bailey fuses inspiration from German Romanticism, American Tonalism, and Japanese Shin-Hanga to create evocative landscapes and portraits that continue a tradition of cross-cultural dialog between Western and Eastern aesthetics. Utilizing traditional Japanese printmaking tools and materials, he brings a contemporary approach to a time-honored craft. He has shown in multiple group shows and his work is held in private collections across the world.

Rachel Mentzer is an Ohio-based printmaker recognized for her eco-conscious approach to collagraph printmaking with chine collé. She transforms discarded boxes into intricate collagraph plates, carving layers of cardboard to create functional printing surfaces. Using intaglio techniques and Kozo papers for chine collé, she creates prints that explore themes of sustainability, impermanence, and environmental renewal. Mentzer received an Individual Excellence Award from the Ohio Arts Council in 2025. Her work has been exhibited at the Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery and the Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition, where she was awarded Best in Show in 2023, and has been included in national and international exhibitions. She has completed artist residencies including Port Austin AIR in Port Austin, Michigan, and the Suzanne Wilson Artist-in-Residence Program in Glen Arbor, Michigan. Her prints invite viewers to reconsider their relationship with the environment. The layering of ink and paper creates a tactile experience that blurs the line between fragility and permanence, highlighting nature’s resilience and its ability to reclaim human-made spaces.
