Clay Prints
My Clay Prints are created through combining printmaking techniques with clay materials. Printmaking tools and processes are used to print firable ceramic finishes onto clay. Techniques I use the most are monoprinting, relief printing and screenprinting, but I've used all printmaking process over the years to make clay prints. Currently, I'm focusing on two series of work for my clay prints.
Allegories This series explores my personal philosophies and concerns as musings, stories, or philosophical statements. These ideas take form as visual narratives, pictorial scenes, character studies, symbols and icons.
