We are thrilled to announce two exhibitions featuring handmade paper works by Alejandra Arias Sevilla: one at Print Center New York and one on-site at Dieu Donné.
Each show includes a selection of handmade paper works made during her 2024 Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship that are based on shadows of window grates and are grounded in the artist’s ongoing exploration of shadows, translucency, translation, and the color blue.

About The Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship
The Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship is awarded annually to a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, person of color) or underrepresented printmaking postgraduate or professional printer. Through research and experimentation, the fellow develops custom papers for different printing methods and explores creative techniques in the papermaking process to enhance imagery.

About the Jordan Schnitzer Gallery
Dedicated to exhibiting works on paper by emerging and established artists, the Jordan Schnitzer Gallery will host exhibitions, lectures, and public programming related to papermaking inside Dieu Donné’s home at the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Jordan Schnitzer states, “I am honored to have the gallery at Dieu Donné named for me, as someone who loves and promotes artists who make work on paper to further their artistic vision. Dieu Donné is the national leader in helping artists to create and use paper in their artmaking process. For over 500 years, art makers have made prints because of the magic created when ink, paint, and paper come together. I look forward to Dieu Donné’s many more decades of success.”
Susan Gosin, Founder and Co-Chair of Dieu Donné, remarks, “Jordan’s continued dedication to Dieu Donné exemplifies our legacy as one of New York City’s most significant cultural organizations. The Jordan Schnitzer Gallery will inspire others to connect with our 40+ year history and ensure that our gallery and studios remain a vital home for many more generations of artists working in handmade paper.”
