Aline Feldman is an artist represened by the Marsha Mateyka gallery located on 2012 R Street NW in Washington DC by the metro Dupont Circle. Gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturday, 11am to 5pm.

"Feldman uses a method that she calls “non- traditional” white line woodcut technique, adapted from a classical Japanese woodcut technique in which patterns cut into wood are painted and transferred onto a more viable medium, like paper. Feldman employs unconventional tools, such as everyday kitchen and sewing utensils, to craft her cuttings, enabling the expansion of the wood cutting possibilities and allowing for more experimentation with light and form" -International Fine Print Dealers Association

I personally would love to see something like this in the Stamp Gallery collection-- a work of art that primarily showcases the artist's mastery of the chosen medium, the sense and use of color and form, and the personal processes involved in the creation of art.

Feldman uses a Japanese woodcut technique, having studied under Unichi Hiratsuka. Here are some works by him so you can get the idea:
