Screen printing

"Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. It is also known as silk-screen, screen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing." -Wikipedia

Beatrice Mandelman: Overflowing With Color is a 2019 exhibit at the Harwood Museum, University of New Mexico which says: "For Mandelman, working in the Silk Screen Unit offered opportunities to work in color lithography and to experiment with a new medium -- fine art serigraphy -- under the supervision of Anthony Velonis, the acknowledged innovator of the process. The exhibition will showcase the color-saturated prints she produced of everyday scenes -- realistic streetscapes, landscapes, and seascapes among them -- transformed almost into visions by layers and layers of colors carefully laid one over another."
