  • Deborah Barnett is an artist and master printer dedicated to art print publishing. Her book-making practice balances in the space between the 'perfect' printing of traditional letterpress and the disruptive practice of questioning the form, authority, administration, and representation of the book.

     

    Barnett holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art Media and Design from OCAD University. With editor Beatriz Hausner, she launched Someone Editions in 2009. Prior to that, she co-founded Dreadnaught Press in Toronto (1970-80), and, as the College Printer at St. Michael's College (2018-2021), she launched The Kelly Print Studio imprint.
