I am currently getting my Masters in Fine Arts in Printmaking from Marywood University. My prints are done in drypoint on a Plexiglass matrix. I prefer this method over traditional intaglio techniques for its benefit to the environment and my studio. I have no toxic chemicals in my studio and I print with Akua inks, which are also environmentally friendly. My prints are mostly of architectural structures, most of which are easily recognizable. I feel that our use of archetecture says the most about our values. "Buildings that rise to the status of public monuments are social artifacts. In material and immaterial ways they reveal much about the philosophical, religious, and political values of society." From The Annotated Arch

Printmaking, realism, the prints of Edward Hopper, Piranesi, John Taylor Arms, Peter Milton and others. Talking about art.

People who do not find value in all things, good, bad or indifferent.

Making the ideas that come into my head, arts and crafts, traveling the world.

I really enjoyed your drypoints. Great work. It's exciting to see more printmakers join scuttlebutt. What type of plexiglass do you use? Have you found one that maintains the burr while printing an edition? How large are your editions?


I'm excited that you are practicing non-toxic (safer) printmaking methods.  My studio is a fully non-toxic facility. Welcome!

Great work! I love the architectural structures and the detail you have taken the time to include.


Interesting quote you reference:"Buildings that rise to the status of public monuments are social artifacts. In material and immaterial ways they reveal much about the philosophical, religious, and political values of society." From The Annotated Arch


I read a book called "How Should We Then Live" by Francis Schaeffer. In the book he followed the relationship between Art, Music and the Church from the Byzantine Empire to present (1980s was present at that time) He also discussed Architecture. I facinating book. Anyway, great work. Sorry for the ramble...

Oddly enough I just got my MFA from Marywood as well.  I was in the "masters with the masters program" with Sister Cor.  It's a small world.
