The program there encouraged you to explore different mediums during your freshman year and that is how she found printmaking. In high school her focus was on watercolors, but she was reluctant to let go of her artwork. She discovered with printmaking you had multiples to keep and sell, and could even make them affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Following friends from Oakland to Sonoma County, she discovered the etching classes at Santa Rosa Junior College and eventually became the Printmaking Lab Technician. Caren retired in 2022 after working there 30 years. She feels very blessed to have had a regular job as an artist, and to be able to help others discover all the delights of printmaking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h2 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 30; line-height: 1.2;\" data-fontsize=\"30\" data-lineheight=\"36px\"> <span style=\"color: var(--h4_typography-color); font-family: var(--h4_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--h4_typography-font-size); font-style: var(--h4_typography-font-style,normal); font-weight: var(--h4_typography-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--h4_typography-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--h4_typography-text-transform); text-align: var(--awb-content-alignment); background-color: var(--awb-bg-color-medium-hover);\">The Barracks Artists<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 2002 Caren got a small press and rented a large, light-filled studio at the Studio Santa Rosa, at the old Navy Air Base in Santa Rosa. The many artists in the building became known as &#8220;The Barracks Artists&#8221;. She started the Studio Print Shop, offering membership to experienced printmakers to share the equipment needed for their craft. Through a fortunate connection, she was able to buy a bigger, wonderful workhorse of a press, the Sturges CP5 star wheel.
