Gel print, pastels
12’’ x 12’’
I relish the freedom and experimentation that printmaking offers, and the magic moment when the paper is lifted, revealing the print. As a painter trained in the academic setting, printmaking allows me to explore and express myself freely - it lessens my control that I tend to have when painting. I learned how to make solar plates and prints from Dan Welden. Annunciation was created using thin twine on a gel plate. I had no preconceived idea of what I was printing or how it would come out. It was months later when I looked at it again and started to color in the shapes that the impressions appeared to me. Annunciation was printed on an inked gel plate with the twine on. So much to explore and learn with printmaking. The voyage continues.
