About Jeanne McGee

I began studying printmaking as an undergraduate in my home town of San Francisco at San Francisco State University. After taking an introductory course in printmaking, I instantly fell in love with woodblock printmaking. I went on to get my MFA at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. After some time creating large scale woodblock prints, I craved the idea of creating small carved stamps(definitely easier to carve!) that could be printed together to make a one large image. I love to print on a variety of surfaces including wood, paper and fabric. Some of the stamp designs then become images that are screen printed onto napkins and tea towels. My work is inspired by nature. I have a studio that overlooks a beautiful park, I spend my summers camping or at a cabin, I spend my winters cross country skiing and ice skating. All these seasonal events inspire my work.Read their story
