About the Artist:
Printmaker, Carolyn Dutky Romano, specializes in monotype prints and is exhibiting work from her ongoing Jazz and Metro series. The directness of the monotype process allows for prints that have the spontaneity of a gesture drawing. Ms. Romano often works from sketches made while at concerts or riding the metro, capturing the just so stance of a person or the performance style of a musician. Whether a subway rider or Cyrus Chestnut at his piano, this process allows for the spontaneous and self-assured quality that is so distinct in Romano’s work.
 
Ms. Romano is a graduate of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio (B.A.) and has a Masters degree from the University of Maryland. As an undergraduate she spent a year studying printmaking with Pompeyo Audivert in Argentina. In addition to her printmaking studio at the Montpelier Cultural Arts Center, Romano has a pottery studio at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia. She has participated in the Howard County Schools Artist in Residence Program and has taught in the after school program in Montgomery County.
