"Re-imagining the Print" invites artists to treat the photographic surface as an active site for physical intervention, gesture, and remixing. The core philosophy centers on extending the print by transforming static photographic images into multi-layered, hybrid discoveries through a blend of physical painting, mark-making, and mixed materials.

Cathy Cone is a photographer, painter and printmaker. Her surrealist approach to photography began in the late 1970’s with the introduction of the "Diana" camera. This led to investigation of experimental techniques towards a multidisciplinary approach to her poetic image making. Cathy received her training at Ohio University, Vermont Studio Center. She received her MFA at the Maine Media College where she served as a mentor and guest faculty.
