Trained in the strict discipline of etching, I proudly followed those traditional rules for many years while printing editions. Now, having broken away from all that, I am exploring the spontaneity, the joy and freedom that Monotype and Collagraph allows. Using the press as simply another tool, I have folded, torn, reinked and reprinted, sometimes adding “ forbidden” materials as well. I am aware of the risks involved in this approach, but I am - often enough - rewarded by some unexpected results.
