I like working in a variety of media. With printmaking I find I can explore my love of drawing while experimenting with the age old techniques of woodcut and drypoint. When I paint in watercolor I enjoy using the rich variety of colors available as I try to collaborate with the many effects and surprises this media is capable of. With found object assemblage I do my best to create a sense of unity using diverse, cast off, objects.
Editor’s note: Incidentally, Maida Cummings is married to our featured artist, John Cummings, from TCR’s previous Issue #33. We are featuring her two dimensional art primarily for this issue, but will focus on her found object assemblage more in the following issue, #35 for a January 2026 release. We’ll offer an interview that will discuss her art generally across both issues at that time.
