Oi Fortin is an award-wining monotype printmaker. Monotype-making has an element of serendipity and chance that occurs when ink and paper meet press. Oi’s compositions are influenced by nature, relationships and the interior life. Her contemporary abstract expressionist prints are notable for a vivid palette and soaring motifs, yet they can also invoke a calm and meditative state. Reviewers describe Oi’s work as “emotionally charged, allegorical,” and “vibrant.” Her work has been shown internationally and is in private and museum collections in several countries. Her studio, open to the public by appointment, is in Erector Square in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
