Monoprints | Monotypes | Mixed Media
Monoprints and Monotypes are original hand pulled prints, in my case, from an etching press. I always use 100% rag cotton archival printing paper, usually Arches Cover, Rising Stonhenge, and Rives BFK papers. Sometimes I embellish them with drawing on top of the pulled original and sometimes I paint on them and sometimes they become mixed media pieces. I use parts of monoprints to create waxed encaustic works as well. I will always note the size, year, and media with each piece.

Raven’s Point Of View
Raven tells a story of how the world is full of magic.
This is Raven’s point of view.
Flicker doesn’t see it. As Flicker listens to Raven go on and on,
she discovers that if she squints her eyes in a certain way,
she can see what Raven is talking about.
The world is full of extraordinary beauty and magic.
Flicker realizes it’s all in how you look at it.
She thinks to herself, changing how you look at things,
once in a while is a game changer.

What We Love
We love what we love and when we do,
The universe is happy.
Love is love, and is the life force within our
cells that seek kinship with others, great and
small, seeking that resonance of connection
that drives us toward our becoming.
