2004-05 Mostly Bird-Themed Monotypes


I created all of these prints, and many more, during two glorious years at the Ink People Center For The Arts. There is a magic and mystery in the making of monotypes-----most especially in that final 'ta-dah!' moment when the paper is peeled from the printing plate to reveal what the alchemy of artist and process have produced. As well as a 'preciousness' in the medium, since all of the artist's efforts result in only one finished piece.
