Angie Coleman, Fall, South San Juans, 2009. Screen print (6/12).

Angie Coleman is a celebrated American printmaker and painter best known for her richly colored woodblock prints that capture the beauty of the mountainous landscapes of the American Southwest. A long-time resident of Taos, New Mexico, Coleman draws much of her artistic inspiration from her frequent hikes and camping excursions throughout the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado, the regions that inspire both the subject matter and emotional tone of her work.

While she also creates works in oil and pastel, Coleman is primarily recognized for her masterful color woodblock prints. Employing the reduction method, a technique where a single block is carved and printed in layers of color, she builds her images layer by layer. The results are prints that are bold and serene, often featuring the forests, peaks, skies, and changing seasons of the Rocky Mountain region.
