Sylvia Roth - Painter and Printmaker, Master Printer Sylvia Roth, founder of the prestigious etching atelier
Hudson River Editions, has collaborated with such vibrant, diverse and
groundbreaking artists as John Chamberlain, April Gornick, Alfonso
Ossorio, Stephen Greene, Grace Hartigan, John Beerman, Milton Resnick,
Roberto DeLamonica, Richard Bosman, and Karen Finley. Works produced from
Hudson River Editions appear in numerous collections including those of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum, The Houston Museum of Fine Art, Portland Museum of Art, The Smithsonian Institute, The
Walker Art Center and The Brooklyn Museum.

Roth's paintings and prints have been exhibited in galleries around her
native New York and across the country in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Detroit, Sarasota, Raleigh and Boston. Among the many shows in which she has participated, particularly notable are "Pleasures from the Garden," a traveling show across the United States sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art and "Children in Crisis," an international show launched in Hamburg, Germany, which raised awareness for Bosnian children who were victims of war. Her paintings and prints are included in many
collections including the collections of General Foods, Readers Digest
and Mobile Oil, and the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum.
Roth's latest series of paintings, etchings, monotypes and woodcuts are
born from her lifelong dedication to the environment. Her intricate and powerful portraits of animals and her unique and bold renderings of flowers, and of other plants, combine centuries-old techniques such as gold leaf application and painted, carved wood. They represent an iconic call to pay attention to the beauty of her subjects in an increasingly
threatened environment.
