My response to the colors, textures and atmospheric effects of the landscape is best portrayed through the subtle and changeable techniques of the etching process. Printmaking techniques, that build up layers, textures and veils of color all combine to achieve a look that references the natural world. Using various plates that I have created, an image can be etched, inked and embossed to create unique and original collograph and etching monoprints.
