“I first became interested in printmaking as an undergraduate student of art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I continued to explore in detail woodcutting and etching, while a graduate student, and then taught the medium for over fourteen years in colleges and Universities. The bite of an etched line as it absorbs and spreads ink is like no other. It exudes a sense of timeless authority which the line drawn on the surface cannot imitate. The same can be said for the black litho crayon line. The deep acquaint fields of grey and black as well as the brushed effects of touché on the stone are equally strong in their effect. This is why I will continue to be intrigued by these media even as the “new” reproductive techniques arrive and seek to displace them.”
