Hi Marcia...

BVT is the airport code for Burlington... I thought BCA was probably Burlington City Arts, but I've never had anything to do with it...

I would seriously love to get together and see how you do what you do... Sounds like you are really busy though... aren't we all!

email me at elizabeth@elizabethmyers.net and we can exchange phone # to try to figure out a time.  

Thanks,

liza

I am in Brandon VT and am very interested in the non-toxic lithography. Where is the studio in BVT? Great work BTW!

Thank you for the comments!! There was a lecture regarding waterless lithography during my tenure at Potsdam, for which I was unable to attend... Perhaps you could teach me sometime since we are so close!

Hi again,

I replied to your second comment, but not your first one. The only place "Latch" has ever been printed is on the postcard for the Art Center at Fallbrook exhibit in San Diego.  You can check that out at my website on the 'in the news' page.  Hopefully you haven't seen it elsewhere :)  The only place it has been exhibited is at a local cafe, a local art association, and at Kutztown University.

Hi Marcia,

Thanks for checking out my murals.  I use Liquitex acrylic artist color mixed with a gloss or matte medium for all of my murals now.  If you go to my website, the Noah's Ark mural is latex wall paint.  I did that one before I knew more about mural painting.  It turned out well, except the colors didn't blend nicely and I didn't need a medium.  The medium helps create transparent washes so I can blend from color to color and gradually go more opaque if needed.

Sorry to hear that the plexi didn't work out!  I use really thin stuff from Dick Blick.  It is what they sell for framing, not for drypoint.  The only tool I use is an etching needle.  The diamond points dont give me as great of a line.  I hope you will give it another try sometime!

HI..

Thanks for the intro into how you are working....I do 99 % platinum printmaking with large neg, currently working with 11x14 neg..you know it from x-ray film when they actually showed you a piece of film..now all digital....

Working on a portfolio of a famous artist out here....Lawrence Lee...if you google, you will see he is famous for his Shaman indian faces....

I did photopolymer gravure...which is on my first page of my portfolio here,  and tomorrow I will post copper plate gravures of the same subject...only much cleaner wiping.  I kind of liked my sloppy plate tone.  Tomorrow I will post the copper versions....made an edition of 15 in Ashuelot NH...lots of artists there, as you said.  Also my letterpress guy....

Talk soon...

Hi....I like the drypoints I see you your portfolio.  Maybe in the minority, but after being in a etching, gravure show in Geneva, I really like intaglio methods....where do you live? Drypoint is scratching away a resist onto a plate, isn't it?   To be a medical artist, I would think you had to be associated with a substantal health center.......Best to you,  :-)  Gary
