Bio

I have always loved making multiples. I began with learning how to operate the Mimeograph machine in middle school followed by learning etching, lithograph and the photocopier in college art school. 14 years ago I bought my Signpress Masterprinter. Since then I have acquired complete sets of ATF metal foundry type ranging from 10 pt – 18 pt. My favorite newer metal foundry type is the iconic Bruce Rogers ‘Centaur.’ This year I was gifted both a Craftool roller press and a 1923 C&P NS 10 x 15 press.  I am currently matriculated in a community college printmaking course to relearn the proper operation of the etching press which is not dissimilar from my Craftool Rollerpress. I have not put the C&P to work yet as I am cleaning it and she needs new trucks and rollers. I am fortunate to have mentors near!
