Margaret Babbitt

Born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1957, Margaret Babbitt received her formal art training at Kirkland College, New York. After college she worked at the Yale University Art Gallery and for a small New York design firm before moving to Cape Cod to focus on her art. Her interest has always centered on shoreline imagery - landscapes, seascapes, and associated architectural forms. Her treatment of these images in watercolor and serigraphy brought early recognition and a rapidly growing audience of collectors throughout the United States, as well as in Europe and Japan.

Margaret's serigraphic style owes much to watercolor values, exhibiting a subtlety and transparency unusual in this print medium. She works with water-base inks, blending them with a transparent base to control opacity, and prints on fine watercolor papers. A typical serigraph incorporates as may as forty or more independently applied colors, some with multiple printings for textural density and visual delicacy. Working entirely with hand-cut stencils, Margaret creates all prints in her own studio to maintain total control over the developing work of art. A serigraph with an edition of 130 requires five weeks or more of concentrated effort to complete. Her editions are very low in number. There are usually about 130 prints pulled of any image and never more than 180.
