As a printmaker I use a variety of intaglio techniques to craft my copper etching plates. The most frequently used techniques are aquatinting, mezzotint, drypoint, burnishing, white ground, soft ground, embossing and the line etch. Other recent techniques include the use of Japanese PS plates. From the completed etched plate I will print an edition of prints on 100% rag paper. After a print has dried sufficiently, I often add additional color with transparent watercolor.
