I have been keeping busy with a variety of printing, drawing and collage projects. Enjoy some studio wall shots.

I am having a lot of fun making these 2″ thumbnail, collage gelatin prints. I think they will end up being pages of a book.

These thumbnail landscapes worked up really nicely.

I find these are great skill builders for enhancing design skills. And they are fast and satisfying.

This is a collage of the different types of textured marks that I use in gelatin printmaking.

This was a really fun and confidence building exercise in painting watercolor figures, with just a few strokes.

I am playing with some different book forms, drum leaf, stab binding and staggered fold.

I am totally seeing landscapes and skies with new eyes. I can see why they are such a popular subject matter. I get new inspiration everyday.

I played with patterns and painting a couple of angels for the holiday.

One day I made a couple of collages with minimal paper.

Playing with a few sketches inspired by my Panera coffee cup.

I think the idea is to listen to your hunches, inklings and idea and act on them, even if you think you are not ready or not good enough.

Just play with printmaking and more!

Join me in an online class soon. Check out the current online printmaking workshops.

I think as artists we see things differently.

Even when I see shapes and shadows and try to capture the energy with my camera, sometimes it does not translate.

I have learned to let go of that gap and do what I can with what I have.

Maybe the experience in the present moment is all I will get. Maybe my job is to help other have those experiences. Hmmmm?

That is why I love to teach gelatin printmaking to folks from all over the world. If you would like to experience the joys of printmaking without a press then check out the current online workshops.
