Patty deGrandpre
Layered Perception
Patty deGrandpre’s mixed media prints combine photography, digital manipulation, monoprinting, and painterly intervention to create layered compositions that explore memory, perception, and visual disruption. Her work transforms ordinary imagery—landscapes, animals, toys, television static, and found fragments—into abstract narratives that feel simultaneously playful, fractured, and psychologically charged.
Blurring the boundaries between printmaking, photography, and collage, deGrandpre constructs images that embrace imperfection, accident, and transformation. Through repetition, layering, and interruption, her compositions suggest the instability of memory and the fragmented nature of contemporary visual culture.

About the Work
deGrandpre works primarily in mixed media and printmaking, integrating digital inkjet transfer processes with traditional monoprint techniques to create richly layered surfaces. Her compositions often evolve through repetition, manipulation, and reconstruction, allowing recognizable imagery to shift toward abstraction.
Her work draws from photography, landscape, signage, memory, and popular culture, recombining these visual fragments into compositions that feel simultaneously playful and psychologically charged. Bright color relationships, textural overlays, and interrupted imagery create a sense of motion and instability throughout the work.
Rather than functioning as straightforward representations, her prints operate as layered visual experiences—exploring how images are consumed, distorted, remembered, and reinterpreted over time.
