I am an Artist by temperament, hard work and training. I began taking Art classes at The Museum of Modern Art in NYC at the age of 7. I love the detail that can be achieved on copper plates and the sometimes, unpredictable nature of the method. The etched plate is truly a labor of love, and a medium that provides the texture and mysterious complement to my work.
I also believe in preserving this medium as technology leads more Artists to digital creations and ink jet printing reproduction. My 650 lb Press is not very different than those of 400 years ago! These illustrations are created from my imagination. I write stories and poems and illuminate them, and sometimes I illustrate stories that I haven't even written yet! I have also been the Printmaker for the Edward Gorey House Museum in Cape Cod since 2012.
