Beth Ganz makes large-scale works on paper, from a combination of photogravure and photo digital images. Her working process moves fluidly between painting, photography and drawing. Her constructions include intaglio made prints with layers of vintage wallpaper, oil paint, and wax. Drawing upon the themes of memory and history, her images were originally captured with her camera, from locations around the world. Foliage, rocks, trees and other earth elements, synthesize landscape panoramas, and often are reminiscent of Asian scroll paintings, topographical maps, 15th century European engravings and Modernist abstraction.
Her work is in the collections of the 9-11 Memorial Museum, U.S. Department of State, the New York Historical Society, the Library of Congress, the Hofstra Museum, the New York Public Library Prints Collection, and many corporate and private collections. Beth teaches intaglio, photogravure and collage techniques. She lives and works in New York City.
