Tanja Softić is an artist living and working in Richmond, Virginia (USA). She approaches color as a manifestation of light, time of day, season or emotional tone and her printmaking work is simultaneously grounded in traditional media but experimental and interdisciplinary in approach. Tanja’s polyphonic, layered and evocative works are created with etching, photoetching, digital print and collage, along with mokuhanga, monotype, drawing and painting.

Keiko Hara was raised and educated in Japan and came to the USA to pursue her art, completing an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1976.
