Regional Printmakers | Printmaking | Belle Hulne, Monica Ihrke, Glenna Olson, Deb Page
This exhibition explores the medium of relief printmaking from the perspective of four different artists. Well-known local artists Deb Page and Glenna Olson will be joined by two regional artists who haven’t previously exhibited in the area – Monica Ihrke (Duluth, MN) and Belle Hulne (Minneapolis, MN).

Belle Hulne is a practicing printmaker who currently creates her art in the Twin Cities. She was taught the art of relief, intaglio, and screenprinting processes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she graduated with a BFA in 2020. Belle carves highly rendered observations of critical environments, capturing the exact moment in time she was present to experience the space.

Monica Ihrke Monica Ihrke grew up in California and received her BA in Art from the University of California, Santa Cruz where she studied printmaking and her MS in Experiential Education from Minnesota State University, Mankato where her studies integrated reflective practice, art, and connection. She currently resides in Duluth, MN.

After graduating from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, Glenna enjoyed a career as a high school art educator for over 30 years. Glenna’s body of work includes both woodcuts and linocuts and employs one of three methods to incorporate color into her prints: hand water coloring, multi-block printing, and reduction block.
