Monotypes

I create these paintings by applying oil-based inks onto a plexiglass plate and transferring the painting to paper by use of an etching press. The more layers I add, the more complex the painting becomes. One of the secrets of a luminous and satisfying painting is knowing when the right level of complexity and depth has occurred and stopping there.

I love the process of creating these multi-layered paintings, which utilizes both a variety of skills and techniques and also incorporates the element of surprise which inevitably accompanies the actual printing process. The press itself always alters the painted image to some degree.
