This show of new work is a blast of color, shapes and random marks! All the images are made from linoleum, carved and printed onto handmade paper & Asian papers. This show began with a large text piece on botanical handmade paper. The text is made up of Texas native animal names in a vibrant watercolor transfer technique done while the paper was newly formed. From there I drew the animal forms onto linoleum and began to print the shapes onto two large circular pieces. I played with bold color and overlapping the forms. Later I added random lines & scribbles for an abstract feel. I've been working with the linoleum print method for several years now and my approach has gotten more painterly. My background in art is painting so this makes sense that I would return to it in a print form. My aim in printmaking is to do individual unique pieces. I am not interested in the traditional method of printing editions that is the normal approach to printmaking. Each piece is unique.
