Creating monotypes allows me to explore color and design in a spontaneous way. After applying a medium, usually oil based ink, and other design elements such as stencils or textured materials to a printing plate, I place paper on the plate and put it through a printing press. The possibilities are almost endless. Each print is unique, and I enjoy the excitement as I lift the paper to see my image. The magic of the ink and the various textures I use combined with the pressure of the press and the properties of the paper make the resulting image a surprise. I love to develop layers of color and form that draw in the viewer to connect in a personal way. My titles often reveal my own connection to the piece, but viewers may see it in an entirely new way.
