Based in New Haven, Connecticut, Oi Fortin is an award-winning printmaker known for her vibrant abstract expressionist works. Her compositions draw from the natural world, personal relationships, and the quiet landscape of the interior life. While her palette is often vivid and filled with spritely motifs, her prints maintain a meditative quality that invites viewers into a mystical space. Fortin specializes in the monotype process, a method where ink is applied to a plate and transferred to paper via a press to create a one-of-a-kind image. She embraces the inherent risk and serendipity of the medium, finding discovery in the moment the paper is pulled from the plate. Her emotionally charged work is held in permanent museum collections across the United States and Asia.
