Monoprints

The beauty of this medium is in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing media. My monoprints are created by rolling, and painting oil based inks onto blank Plexiglas plates, and passing them through an etching press; transferring ink to paper. Each pass adds shape, color, and line to the composition. The resultant print may have as many as twenty five layers of information, and no two prints are alike.
