Media: Embossed collagraph on artist made paper

Artist Statement:
I use abstract concepts to express my visual designs in a repetitive, textural and dimensional way.  My pressed paper art is mostly inspired from visions found in nature and sometimes it is based on a theme reflecting outer space. Since the 1980's my artworks have been created on artist-made, 100% cotton fiber paper.  A collagraph is used to achieve deep embossing. The printing plate is run through an etching press and later the paper is hand colored with an airbrush, using fiber dyes.

Biography

Since 1982 I have been making paper in my studio in New Canaan, CT. 100% cotton fiber sheets are made which are then used to make embossed collagraph prints. Some of these prints can be found in corporate collections as well as in 30 museums and educational institutions.
