Printmaking Process

​

I primarily work in linocuts, a relief printmaking process. Though I have worked in many mediums, this style of printmaking for me is something that I have a deep connection with. The process starts off with a sketch that is then carved into a plate, prepared and inked and then burnished and printed.

My work showcases my background in graphic design by creating compositions with strong contrasts. From sketch, to concept, to product - my prints encompass the work of a hundred dreams and drawings.​

About Me

​​

Returning to my creative roots after a twenty-year pause has been an inspiring journey. I work with traditional techniques and a personal, expressive style to create prints and watercolor studies.

With a professional background in graphic design and over a decade of experience in early childhood education and art instruction across both private and public settings, I now channel these combined experiences into my artistic practice at J. Del Vacchio Prints. This includes hand-pulled linocuts for fine art prints, cards, reusable bags, and home decor, with annual markets.​
