Description
I have worked and studied in the field of visual arts since the mid seventies. The capturing of details and textures has always been a critical part of all my work. As a medical photographer at Georgetown University, working at a consulting firm, the capturing of details was critical for documentation and publication. Later as an artist in clay, I was determined to capture and maintain the same amount of detail, only this time in clay. The clayworks and other forms of impressions have evolved significantly since the late 1980’s when I first started exploring this process.
Limited edition, signed and numbered digital lithographs were introduced in 2003, and quickly became equal in popularity as my original clayworks. The introduction of the limited edition reproductions allowed me to broaden my market without sacrificing quality or value of the work. The original art from which the reproductions are created results from impressions made directly in clay. The original art in clay is photographed, colors adjusted and printed using archival quality inks on a finely textured linen paper. The same incredible detail is maintained from clay to print form. Some of the image areas are further enhanced with acrylic medium or colored pencil.
Tiles transfers were introduced in 2005. From clay to print to tile, a third generation in production. Images are hand transferred to the surface of a tumbled marble tile, paper is removed, leaving only the ink and sealing the surface, allowing the natural beauty and uniqueness of each tumbled marble surface to show through the background. Some of the images have been hand painted prior to the transfer, again adding to the uniqueness of each piece.
