Art by Angie Mangels

Welcome to my portfolio page, where I display my printmaking originals and paintings.  I really enjoy both mediums but there is something magical about the process of creating a layered print. My first gallery highlights linoleum block and serigraph prints that I have created over the years.  Ever since I feel in love with printmaking while studying art at Montana State University, I found myself drawn to the puzzle of working backwards with colors, and also in reverse in the case of block printing. I typically print a series of originals using the color reduction method, that means I am printing as many runs as there are colors in each print, with the process requiring carving the block for the next color, or blocking out a screen in-between runs, in order to leave the last color in place.  It’s a labor of love and a detailed step by step process to create these tactile layered prints.
