Upon moving to central Vermont, she had the great opportunity to work as the assistant to renowned Vermont printmaker, Sabra Field. It was during this time that Ms. Amato began to develop her own unique talent, focusing on the woodcut with its multi-faceted techniques, challenges, and intrinsic rewards. More than twenty years later, the woodcut continues to hold a fascination for this artist.<\/p>\n In addition to being a printmaker, Ms. Amato is a certified K-12 Art teacher. She enjoys teaching both in the public and private setting to children and adults. Jeanne currently teaches and hosts workshops at her studio and gallery, Allen Hill Press.

Her pieces combine function with exquisite beauty, resulting in an heirloom quality that has attracted women of all generations.<\/p>\n About Sabra Field:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Perhaps no artist is more identified with having captured Vermont\u2019s pastoral qualities than Sabra Field.<\/p>\n A printmaker since she discovered woodcut at Wesleyan University, Sabra has operated her studio in East Barnard since 1969. Numerous artist printers have helped her produce her editions both at the studio and at Cone Editions and Northlight Editions.<\/p>\n Sabra was awarded an honorary PhD in the Arts from Middlebury College where she received her B.A. and where a collection of one of each of her hundreds of prints is housed at the college museum.
