Nancy Summers, Truro Remembered, linoleum block print, 8″ x 6″

Still working regularly at her craft at the age of 82, Summers has created over thirty editions of prints in the recent past. In addition to being a fixture at the Friday and Saturday Printmaking class since the 1990s, Summers’ irrepressible spirit has graced these studios for over fifty years, dating back to the 1940s when the Art Students League of New York held its summer school in these buildings. There she had the opportunity to study with Yasuo Kuniyoshi.

Concentrating mainly on the versatile and most graphic medium of block printing, Summers’ exceptional ability as a designer enables her to translate small sketchbook studies into bold, stylized depictions of the landscape from Austria to Truro and back again, to the gnarled grouping of trees near her Woodstock home.
