Tusche and crayon lithograph

11.75’’ × 17.5’’

I’m big on learning new mediums and lithography is the special thing that challenges me to experiment with concepts, mixing techniques, and practice trial and error more than any other. It requires discipline, repetition, and mastery. I’m a process kind of person, and lithography is very much technical. In my experience, it’s a paradox, both controlled and unpredictable in the drawing and printing. In every state, I must revise my approach and work with my body and the stone; one cannot come before the other. It’s so surreal to start from a freshly ground limestone to finally pulling my image off onto paper to share with the world.
