DENISE MARKBREIT
PRINTMAKER and FOUNDER-OWNER of Asheville Print Studio + Gallery
Denise discovered Akua ink - a soy based, safer printmaking solution while at an artists’ retreat. It was a game changer for her printmaking practices. Delving into safer techniques, without solvents or chemicals, opened up a world of eco-friendly printmaking possibilities including Mokuhanga, Mokulito, Mixed Media printing and Solar Plate print matrixes. Denise has been hooked on green printmaking ever since!
In addition to her pursuit of printed fine art images, Denise creates hand printed home accessories, and print based mixed media images and sculptures. Denise also regularly teaches printmaking workshops and mentors artists through the Asheville Print Studio Membership Program.
In 2018 Denise founded the Asheville Print Studio + Gallery. She is a member of the Asheville Printmakers and exhibits her prints, as well as work by a core group of printmakers, at Asheville Print Gallery. Denise holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and an MST from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her fine art prints have been exhibited in numerous galleries and institutions across the country and reside in art collections worldwide.
