Deborah Schindler, Carnival in the Garden of Eden, linoleum cut, 18" x 25"

 

Whether the subject matter is sheep or the graphic artist Jaques Callot, tiled walls or manhole covers, Deborah Schindler brings her unique vision of the world to light through linoleum cuts that come to life in a joyful array of patterns, textures and contrasts. Expressive Impressions, a compilation of recent original hand-pulled prints and artist books on a variety of themes, will be on display at the Washington Printmakers Gallery in Georgetown through the entire month of March 2024.

Describing her work, Schindler observes:

I have always looked at subject matter thematically: one idea evolves and morphs into other ideas. Although subject matters vary – from people in motion, birds in flight to spinning wheels – overall, there is an emphasis on anti-gravity and anti-gravitas in nearly everything I do. My explorations, manipulations, indecisions and revisions are all part of the creative process. There always exists the Yin and Yang, back and forth, of black and white, duking it out for supremacy in those ephemeral grey areas.

About the Artist

Deborah Schindler grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from UCLA with a major in Pictorial Art and a minor in Latin American Studies, where she was fortunate to work with artist Richard Diebenkorn for an independent studies course during the last quarter he ever taught. She subsequently studied printmaking at Ohio State University with printmaker Sid Chafetz, where she earned an MFA.

Arriving in the DC area, Schindler quickly integrated into the art scene, joining the Printmakers Group of the Washington Women’s Art Center. That core group later founded the Washington Printmakers Gallery. Schindler has exhibited in numerous juried exhibitions, locally, nationally and internationally. She currently works as a Portuguese/English interpreter in medical and legal settings throughout the DMV.
