Paulette Myers-Rich’s art book collaborations
Paulette Myers-Rich has partnered with dozens of artists and writers during an accomplished career in fine art printing. In this interview we talk about many of those collaborations – including a series of books featuring Irish poets produced jointly with the Center for Irish Studies at the University of St. Thomas.
Paulette moved to Beacon in her fifties, choosing it in part because it visually echoed her industrial river city home of St. Paul, Minnesota. Once here, she continued to produce letterpress printed works under her imprint, Traffic Street Press, and opened the No. 3 Reading Room exhibition space. In our interview, Paulette talks about her creative partnerships with artists and writers, the setbacks of Covid, and the importance of fine art books today.

An amazing reflection on an extraordinary talent. As a younger sibling, I am shamelessly proud of Paulette’s work. And so impressed that this intimate interview unveiled parts of her process that I was entirely unaware of. Thank you for sharing her story with the immediate community of interested artists and residents. Know that it will resonate far beyond her handsome Main Street studio.
