I have pushed traditional painting to etching in the fine art printmaking process. I master figures with minimal line and contrast images to unusual printmaking background collages. I exhibit a minimal line and painterly approach to the figure in print. I communicate a challenge to our awareness of art, culture, and emotional perspective through Polymer Etchings with Chine Colle' or papers added during the printmaking process. Working with the figure in print, I find a world in my mind where color and line is taking me through the process of art.
