MAUREEN STEUART, "Beach Picnic", oil, #14



 


Maureen Steuart as a nurse in training in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on more than a few occasions, crept out of the nurses’ residence to attend art classes. Later in life, while still nursing; she discovered the Dundas Valley School of Art. It was at D.V.S.A. that Maureen was taught printmaking by Jean Maddison.



Several years later, after working in Print coops, she finds herself at Dundas Valley School of Art, happily teaching printmaking. She continues to explore various methods of printmaking.



Artist’s Statement:

 “It’s all about line to me, the puzzle of breaking things down to the essence of the line, the finest of details. Because of my love for the line, pen and ink line and etching are very comfortable media for me.”
