PRINTMAKING.

Etching = Alchemy

I started making prints in 2010, doing small drypoints on plexiglas. In 2011, with a scholarship to Manhattan Graphics Center, I began learning to etch copper plates using ferric chloride. I love the whole process of etching. It’s ancient, persnickety, and time-consuming. It requires planning— and a willingness to make space for unexpected results. Its surprises are the best part, honestly.

Etching in black ink showing a view across a snowy pasture. In the far distance are hills and trees. You can tell that although it's cold, it's not windy or wet. Two dark-colored horses have their heads low, munching hay from pils in the snow.

Looking up at two identical step-gabled tops of buildings in the winding streets of Brrugge. Each gable sports a window, curved at the top, and we can see a small window box with flowers in the closer of the two. The sky is bright but overcast. There is a mood about it.

Etching in black ink showing a weather-worn clapboard house at night. There's a bare tree beside it, and overgrown grasses. The sky is dark, save for the flakes of a snow squall.
