Welcome to the etchings! This medium is where I received my primary arts training. I made my first etching in 1988 at Amherst College in Massachusetts. I obtained my MFA in printmaking from the University of Georgia in Athens in 1995. These images are all etchings and this is the only type of printmaking that I do. The process saw its origins in the early Renaissance and has been popular with artists for centuries. The image is incised into a copper plate through a variety of techniques and then ink is rubbed into these marks and ultimately transferred to the paper. Big presses, oily inks and a variety of chemicals are used to generate these images. The whole process is fairly involved but it is all done by me, by hand and with affection. Again, thanks for looking.
