Monoprints



Monoprints are prints where there is a fixed matrix. This means that multiple similar artworks can be made, but no two will be exactly alike.

meaning ''edition variable, number # out of #.''

This fantastical bird originated as a doodle. I did a line and aquatint etching
and added gold specked chine colle. I printed an edition variable of twenty
and two additional artist's proofs.

This monoprint is a hand-tinted etching with
collage. It was part of the Arlington Remembers
