The art of printmaking engages me in a way that other art forms do not. Printmaking, drawing and painting are three media that allow me to explore. My subject of trees and landscapes has been consistent. I am always looking at the landscapes around me and wanting to interpret what I see—the shapes, the interplay of light and dark, the different planes—this is all of interest to me.
I attended SUNY Potsdam and graduated as a studio art major in 1973. After teaching art at the secondary level for several years and participating in graduate art classes focused on printmaking and photography, I then worked in the field of adult education and administration. Returning to my passion for printmaking, I am currently exploring non-toxic intaglio printmaking using a variety of techniques.
Over the past few years, I have engaged in printmaking classes at the Maine College of Art and at Zea Mays Printmaking Studios, Florence, Massachusetts. Discovering the non-toxic and less toxic approaches to intaglio printmaking is exciting, intriguing and rewarding. I continue to develop my work and refine techniques and imagery. Currently the techniques I am using the most are dry point and acrylic aquatint.
