Recycled ARt


Recycling and reusing the images of others has fascinated me.
The ability to transform and tell a new story using an old story has fueled my creativity for years.
The older the magazine the better. Every year displays a whole new understanding of culture as new generations take on the tasks of their ancestors.

Fine Art Prints

Printmaking

Just a few moments ago I was taking my first print making class. That’s a true statement as far as traditional fine art printing is concerned. Previously I had taken printing in High School learning to use the AB Dick press. Included are some of the prints I created during FA355 at WSU-Vancouver. I had an inkling this was going to be a fun course for me as I had always had a nagging voice inside my head prodding me to make prints. Well I found that I really love it. In fact I am trying to figure out how I can spend my life doing traditional art rather than sitting behind a computer screen frying my retinas. The slide show depicts work from dry point, etching and silkscreen. Enjoy!
