"My prints, books and drawings are about the poetry of solitude and memory. They are about the comfort and poignancy of beauty, reminiscence and longing. Searching for and creating this comfort are essential human endeavors. What we make and what we find are necessarily juxtaposed to the pain and suffering of loss. The rich morsels that we collect help us to live an existence in which answers may not be forthcoming to our most fundamental questions."

Diane Fine is a distinguished book artist, printmaker, and educator. Fine began the Moonkosh Press in 1985 while studying printmaking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She took classes in book arts from Walter Hamady and worked as an assistant printer at the Silver Buckle Press. She received her M.F.A. in Graphics in 1988. Under her imprint Moonkosh Press the artist has produced over twenty-five limited edition books that explore the search for meaning, and speak to the need for beauty in our lives. Her rich and imaginative books combine letterpress printing with a variety of print media such as lithography, relief printing, and etching. Employing color, pattern, symbols, and inventive structures, Fine’s books address topics such as feminism, breast cancer, ritual, nature, solitude, and memory. For almost thirty years, she has been a faculty member at the State University of New York-Plattsburgh where she teaches printmaking and book arts. She exhibits her work regularly, has taught workshops around the country, and was recently artist-in-residence at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina.  https://dianefine.com/
