Georganne Watters
Georganne Watters is an internationally acclaimed Printmaker. Her one-of-kind prints are unique not only in actual size, but also because of their powerful, provocative, and larger-then-life graphic appeal.
She has a proclivity to delve into controversial subjects which lend a raw, hard-edged quality to her work. This in-your-face, intenseness adds an extra dimension to her prints. The work explores a broad range of topics - the women's suffrage movement, the pain and isolation of immigration, the joy and burden of motherhood, depression, slavery.
Georganne grew up in Kobe, Japan from 1962 until 1974 and lived and worked in Tokyo and Osaka between 1979 and 1985. It was here that she began to study the arts with a Master of the traditional Japanese painting and printmaking methods.
She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Art from Marylhurst University and a Master's of Fine Art in Printmaking from San Francisco Art Institute. She has taught Visual Arts at the University level for 12 years and is currently a Visual Arts Instructor at Mt. Hood Community College in Oregon.
