I have missed the process of printing. Today I just decided to get busy and make stuff. These are monoprints created with Akua Inks on Rives BFK lightweight paper.

You know it is time for a break when you forget the paper for the second time.

I have done it! Last month I decided it was time to join all the amazing artists and to get involved more in the local art seen. I am already having fun. I am excited to be showing this mixed media artwork that I created a few months ago. The pieces are a combination of linocuts and other materials that I created over time and had set aside. I really enjoy the contrast of colors and pattern with the black and white print. If you are in the Kenosha, WI area on Second Saturday please stop at Lemon Street Gallery and support your local artists.
