About the Artwork

Night Tea is a collagraph print created by artist Beverly Olson. In this printmaking technique, she collaged various materials and elements onto a printing plate. This process creates a variety of textures and forms in the print. This piece is part of the artist's suite of fifteen prints. She describes the suite as an anthology of dreams and fantasies. She notes, "A Printmaker works at arranging line, share and texture to construct a small flash of a dream."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Washington State Arts Commission.
