FINE ART PRINT
PUBLISHING
Parallel Editions is the brain child of Suzannah O’Reilly Mullaney and Brian Fitzgerald, two long time printmakers and established artists in their own right, who have been working both, independently in the medium of print, as well as collaboratively with artists, designers and all round creative’s transforming their ideas and thoughts into high quality prints. A further unique feature of Parallel Editions will be the intent to develop the appeal of the traditional, handmade low edition artist book that has a much more value than that of the commercial large run publication.
About
Suzannah O’Reilly Mullaney
Suzannah has been involved in Printmaking for the past 25 years and is a practising Artist, Printmaker, Fine Art Lecturer and Curator. She studied Fine Art Printmaking in The Limerick College of Art and later completed an MA by research in the Crawford College of Art, Cork. Printmaking has never lost its magic for Suzannah whose love of process and pattern and the chance element of certain techniques has kept printmaking foremost in her own work and life. Wether it’s making her own work, teaching, collaborating or curating, printmaking is constant element.
The influence printmaking has had on Suzannah has led her to co- founding Parallel Editions where making prints in collaboration with an artist and publishing Fine Art prints is not only a job now but is also an indulgence in a love of the practice of printmaking. Enlightening the public and artists alike, and conveying the magic of print to others is hugely rewarding and satisfying element of being part of Parallel Editions.
