Diane Castle Babcock Printmaker

Diane has been practicing the art of linoleum block printing for more than forty years.   The process she uses is called the reduction method, because she continually cuts away from one block to create a multiple color image.  For a detailed description on the reduction Linoleum Block Printing Process, click here. Her images are created in four to six steps of cutting and printing.  As the print is created, the block is destroyed, ensuring a limited edition.

Diane graduated from Nazareth University and Binghamton University with degrees in art, business and an art education certification.  She recently retired from Adirondack High School in Boonville, NY where she taught high school Art.   She exhibits her work in galleries in five galleries in Upstate New York.  Diane has received awards at many arts festivals and is a member of the Roycroft Arts and Craftsmen Guild..
