Annie Silverman is a relief printmaker and book artist who for over 25 years has been creating experimental work with print installations, dimensional objects and books. In 2008 she formed ABRAZOS PRESS with Sandra Butler and Nina Wishnok at Miller St. in Somerville, MA, a small teaching and professional studio where workshops are routinely given in:

• mixed media printmaking

•improvisational woodcut

• artists’ books

Beginners and people with no art experience are most welcome to take classes. Wood block carving and printing are both creative and oddly calming in our frenzied world.

For over 25 years Annie taught various courses including Artists’ Books, Paper Making and Relief Printmaking as a part-time instructor at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently in 2022 as part of the Los Angeles Printmakers Paper Boats Flotilla at the Venice Biennale, The 2022 WILDLIFE exhibition at Center for the Arts Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, CA, and in 2021 as part of the Exquisite Corpse Project at the International Printing Museum in Carson, CA. In 2018, 2012 and 2013 her Vanishing Pollinator Installation was exhibited at The Cahoon Museum of Art in Cotuit, MA, The Boston Public Library, and at the Cantor Gallery at Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA as part of the Re-Think INK exhibition from Mixit Studios in Somerville, MA.

Annie’s work has been exhibited in the last two Boston Printmakers North American Print Biennales, at Wellesley College and Lesley University in 2019 and 2017.

Annie’s woodblock and polyester plate lithographic artist book about bees, Associative Miscellany, was exhibited in Kyoto, Japan as part of the Mokuhanga Printmaking Exhibition in 2011, and was purchased by the MassArt Library in 2012. Associative Miscellany II was also part of the Southern Graphics Council’s Traveling International Exhibition.

She is an experienced teacher and has given workshops at Zea Mays, Penland School of Crafts, Pyramid Atlantic, and Mixit Studios.
