Piece description from the artist
Ahhh, that cup of coffee in the morning… The aroma, the taste, the color… a ritual shared by billions of people every day. And a people business it is… from the people who farm the beans, sort and process, roast and deliver, and brew the cup you hold in your hands, it is a huge economic, social, and cultural driver in our world. The farmers who grow the coffee are often the least compensated in the chain. I make coffee art to support the Grounds For Health, a nonprofit providing healthcare to the women working on these rural coffee farms.
Primarily a self- taught artist, Casey explores her experiences through the engaging and often unpredictable print medium of monoprinting. She is most interested in the spiritual aspects that emerge in the image, particularly relating to how we live in the world and how the world lives in us. In the beginning the work may be a search for answers, but in the end it’s more about being here without them.
Casey specializes in monoprints, which is a process using moistened paper with oil paint and/or etching inks. The artist works with a press and printing plate using an additive or subtractive method often with multiple layers of images and organic matter to create an individual work. Casey may work on a theme which becomes a 10 to 15 piece collection. Each work is one of a kind, printed on archival 100% rag paper. Alternatively, digital images of each piece allow Casey to reproduce her pieces in larger sizes on different materials.
Casey was born in 1953 in Greenwich, CT. She lives with her husband, coffee guru Dan Cox in Shelburne, Vermont. Her artwork is in private, corporate, healthcare, and hospitality collections, as well as on web designs. You are welcome in her Burlington, Vermont studio by appointment.
