The Joy of Making w/ printmaker Steve Prince

Printmaker extraordinaire Steve Prince joins Studio Noize to talk about his amazing print work. Steve is one of the best relief printmakers around and organizes some amazing community-based projects. We talk about what makes his print work so special and all the symbolism and details that go into them. We discuss how Steve’s faith informs his process and has guided him to make the work that he does. You get two amazing relief printmakers in the same episode! 

Steve A. Prince is a native of New Orleans, Louisiana. He received his BFA from Xavier University of Louisiana and his MFA in Printmaking and Sculpture from Michigan State University and has shown his art internationally in various solo, group, and juried exhibitions. Prince received several honors for his art and scholarship including the 2010 Teacher of the Year for the City of Hampton and has participated in several residencies including the 2007 Partners of the Americas Artist in Residence in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Prince has lectured and conducted workshops in both secular and sacred settings internationally in a variety of media. Many of his hands-on workshops and community-based projects have culminated in the creation of permanent communal-based artworks. Among his public works are an 8 x 8 ft. mixed media work entitled Lemonade: A Picture of America created in 2017 to commemorate the first three African American students in residence at William & Mary and The Links Project created in coordination with the Museum’s 2019 – 2020 exhibition 1619 / 2019. He spreads a message of hope and renewal to the global community through the cathartic funerary tradition from New Orleans called the Dirge and Second Line operating under the credo, “your imagination is your only limitation.”
