MATTHEW LETZELTER

Matthew Letzelter is an artist, professor, and professional printer in Oregon. He makes works on paper, prints, and paintings with a focus on abstracted landscapes. His current work is an exploration of passages and marks that reference patterns, transitions, textures, and experiences that have developed from his research of the man-made and natural environments. His work is defined by decades of exploring printmaking and publishing with multiple professional studios and programs in North America. Collaborating for years on numerous artist projects has informed his techniques and approaches to making both traditional and modern prints, paintings, and works on paper. 

Matthew received his MFA in 2003 from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York, and his BFA in 1998 from University of Florida. He is currently a Professor at Willamette University/PNCA, where he is Chair of the MFA in Print Media Program and Director of Watershed - Center for Print Research. Prior to moving to Portland, Letzelter was the Master Printer at Stinger Editions and Visiting Professor at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec.
