Pleased to Announce

I am pleased to announce that I will be taking Etching 2 next semester, so I will be able to post more etchings!  I am exited to work on new etching projects, and also to expand my use of canvas, which I did my final project on! 

Some Photos for Class

These aren't all of my photos, just the ones that I really want to use to make some plates/print, so we'll see how it all turns out.   I am missing one photo that I really love, so hopefully when I locate the file I can post it on here as well :-D

Outside of class work

Hard Ground Etching

Trees in a Series 

Dry Point on Plastic Sheet

Bird Project

This series of etchings is from a plate that I am currently working on.  I started with a basic hard ground etching on a zinc plate, and then have been experimenting with the aquatint technique.

Just a tidbit while I work on my latest project and get to school so I can upload my other etchings!

Memory Project

At the 'Spoon is a great collection of pieces based on memory. How we remember, what memories are, and what we remember are all explored by various artists. Our assignment: get inspired and make our own piece about memory. I chose to focus on how memory functions - more specifically, how you can remember where you were during important events. My mom can tell me where she was when JFK was assassinated, and I can recall exactly what I was doing when I found out about 9/11. Because its art, not a scientific diagram, I have used my own interpretation of what memory would look like... if it were an etching.
