Marjorie Tomchuck Silvermine Guild Artist | 1971 - Lifetime Member

Marjorie Tomchuk is a Canadian-born printmaker and mixed media artist whose work is widely known for its richly embossed textures, handmade papers, and inventive combinations of printmaking techniques. She moved to the United States in 1953 and went on to earn both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from the University of Michigan. Early in her career, she taught art in Tokyo and studied at Sophia University, where she learned woodblock printing techniques under Toshi Yoshida, before spending a period in Frankfurt, Germany, working on etchings with Helga Kaiser. In 1965, she relocated to New York City and worked at the Pratt Graphics Center, then established a full print studio in SoHo, affiliated with Lublin Graphics until 1976.

Settling in New Canaan, Connecticut, from 1970 onward, Tomchuk has devoted her career to developing embossed prints, cast paper, etching, collages, woodblocks, marbling, and handmade paper art. Her work is celebrated for marrying delicate, atmospheric imagery (often inspired by nature or cosmic themes) with highly tactile, sculptural surface relief. Over her multi-decade career, she’s exhibited internationally (in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia), and her prints have been collected by institutions such as the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and the Library of Congress.
