SHERYL ORLOVE

 

Statement-

My work is inspired primarily by music, dreams, nature, popular culture and above all my travels; I have visited over 49 different countries.  Although I do work in other mediums, I prefer printmaking; it is intriguing to me because of the flexibility in its multi-level process.  The images come to life with ink and paper; each print produced from the same matrix still relishes in its own uniqueness.

 

Education-

MLIS-Library Science with a concentration in Archives and Special Collections- Dominican University, River Forest, Illinois, August 2004

 

BFA- Fine Art- Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, May 1989

 

I have studied printmaking with Audrey Niffenegger at the Evanston Art Center in Evanston, Illinois from 1993-2001, and then the North Shore Art League in Winnetka, Illinois, also with Paula Campbell, from 2001- present.  Additionally, I have taken various studio and art history classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
