In this episode of Platemark, Ann sits down with Betty Winkler to explore her dual career as a master of carborundum collagraphy and a dedicated art therapist. They dive into her technical innovations—such as her preference for plexiglass plates—and discuss her book, which aims to demystify this tactile, non-toxic printmaking method. Betty shares how her background in the collaborative world of the print studio seamlessly informs her work in therapy, viewing both as powerful tools for communication and healing.
From the grit of the carborundum to the deep emotional layers of trauma therapy, Betty's journey is a testament to the idea that creativity is a fundamental human trait. Whether you are a seasoned printmaker or curious about the intersection of art and psychology, this interview offers a fascinating look at a life dedicated to the plate and the person.
