The L.A. Printmaker

"I love the smell of etching ink and the feel of good paper. The excitement of lifting the blankets and paper to reveal the print is visceral. When I was learning etching and lithography we used copper and zinc, and lots of acids, we ground our own stones. It was physical and also somewhat dangerous. I was young and I liked that. Now there are new technologies to explore and the process of discovery is thrilling. For several years I have been working with photosensitive plates, various forms of copiers, scanners and computers to create my etchings. Using a combination of traditional methods and aesthetics with the array of new technologies has been both challenging and rewarding."
