Dennis Olsen (1941 – 2015) was Professor of printmaking, drawing, and digital media at the University of Texas. He studied printmaking in Italy and co-founded the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy where he served as Director of printmaking classes until his return to the States in 1981. His work has been included in more than 160 exhibitions in the USA, Italy, Canada, and all over Europe. In his own words: “In the late 1970’s and early 80’s my prints became more abstract, combining landscape, with still-life, interiors, and figuration in a complicated metaphorical mix, characterized by an abundance of rich color and textural effects.”
