“I am a painter by training and collage-maker by nature who began my experimental printmaking with reprographic machines. Since being introduced to computers in the late 1960’s when working on my doctorate at Penn State, I have combined traditional and digital media. My work includes large-scale mixed media pieces, artist books and book-like objects that bridge between these two forms. It combines the humblest of materials – plaster, tar, wax and pigment – with the latest in technology to evoke the past and herald the future. It is an integrated mode of inquiry that links concept and media in an ongoing dialogue – a visible means of exploring meaning.”

Dorothy Simpson Krause is Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts College of Art where she founded the Computer Arts Center.

That same year, she worked with the Vinalhaven Graphic Arts Foundation to help curators envision the potential of digital printmaking. In 2001 she demonstrated digital printmaking at the Brooklyn Museum of Art Print National, Digital: Printmaking Now. Krause is co-author of Digital Art Studio.
