Endless years of artwork

I have been an artist my whole life, I could never think of a day that I wasn't making something. I discovered my love of printmaking in high school, but it was until Uni that I just couldn't get enough of it.  I have been thinking lately about how much I miss printing and how much I want to get back into it...

I was cleaning out my studio the other week and found some of the MANY prints I have accumulated over the many years. I have no idea why I hang on to so much of my art when I love sharing it with others. I decided I would pull out a few of my small older prints, frame them up and see what people thought....see if I could sell a few. What do you think????

This etching was printed in 1996...just a few years ago. They are framed in an 8" x 10" matted frame. They are all printed off the same plate, but all 100% original, based on the ink used and treatment of the print.




This one has a glitter painted over the wings.



This one has been hand painted over the print.


This one is a smaller etching in an 6"x8"  matted frame. Again, it is printed off the same etching plate but printed on different paper and ink.


This one is printed on white reeves and printed with a black and yellow ink.


This is printed on a cream reeves paper with black and green ink.
