My interest in art began at a very young age; using crayons on the walls in my grandmothers house. She probably was not too happy about that. I studied art history and printmaking in college. Though I started working as an electrician in my early twenties, I knew it was temporary. I wanted to be an artist. I am a printmaker. The process is challenging and I like that. 1-5 copper plates are individually hand wiped with various colors of ink to create an image on paper. Then each piece is meticulously hand colored. The plates take months to create and many weeks of proofing are done before an acceptable piece is created. It is a combination of drawing, sculpture and painting. It is the oldest printing process in the world; Rembrandt, Goya and other fine artists were printmakers. No computers or photography are ever used; each piece is handmade and hand painted and though the editions may range from 1-250, no two pieces are the same.
