Bert Green Fine Art&nbsp;is pleased to present our second solo show by Chicago-based artist and printmaker&nbsp;Deborah Maris Lader.A skilled artist and printmaker who constantly explores experimentation with a vast array of other materials,&nbsp;Deborah Maris Lader’s newest work extends the printed image off the page via animations, sculptural techniques, and automata. Using mechanistic props, light and space, she devises a diverse menagerie of beings, creatures from the inner workings of Lader's creative brain.
