Mary Teichman

Mary Teichman (born 1954) is an American artist and printmaker known for her color aquatint etchings.

Biography
Mary Teichman studied printmaking, painting and drawing at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, graduating in 1976. Among her notable instructors were Charles Klabunde, Armando Morales and Stephano Cusumano. While in college, she worked as an apprentice for Klabunde in his West Village etching studio, learning first-hand the tools of the trade. During her subsequent years in New York City, she spent several years at Bob Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop on 17th Street, honing her technique and style. While there she also served as a master printer and platemaker for other artists, including the painters Medrie MacPhee and Nell Blaine. She later established her own etching studio at 41 Union Square.

Teichman's work has been shown in more than 250 invitational and juried exhibitions, and is in the permanent collections of museums, libraries and archives across the US and the world. She is a long-time member of the Boston Printmakers, as well as the Society of American Graphic Artists, which conferred a Lifetime Achievement Award upon her in 2019. In 1992, The Print Club of Albany selected her as its "Presentation Print" artist, commissioning her to produce an edition of prints for their members, and in 2018 and 2020, she was chosen as a finalist for the Rene Carcan International Prize for Printmaking, exhibiting her work in Brussels. In 2015, the Curator of Prints and Photographs at the Boston Athenaeum commissioned her to produce a special edition print for their  permanent collection. Teichman has also created original etchings for three children's books published by Harper/Collins: Stars for Sarah, by Ann Turner; Color by Christina Rossetti; and Merry Christmas, A Victorian Verse.
