Artist Statement

My artwork is inspired by nature, growth, movement and organic material. As a printmaker, I create many textures using a variety of mediums and techniques which include: monotype, collograph, collage, encaustic, etching, lithography, and direct printing. My work represents life in many different forms, however while the images may be recognizable, they are not designed to depict true reality. It is my intent to maintain the appeal of abstract art and to leave each piece up to the viewers’ interpretation.

Hi Gwen me again - love this image - it works so well on this box. Do you print directly onto the lid surface? !!!

Aine,

Thank you!

This is one where I printed directly onto rag printmaking paper and then tore the paper to the exact size of the box lid, then glued it on with acrylic medium. It's fun!
