What is an Embossment?
Denice creates her own embossed backgrounds by cutting her original designs from matboard. Using her Wright Press, she places damp printmaking paper on the cut forms to press the designs into the paper. The pieces you see below have cut-out watercolored shapes to complete the designs. In some she adds forms in colored pencil and/or pastel. Every effort has been made to photograph the true nature of the embossed portion of the art pieces.
