Etching on zinc plate

16 x 13

Etching and watercolor are my primary mediums. Education: San Diego State College, San Francisco State College, Santa Reparata (Florence Italy), San Francisco Art Institute and College of Marin. In the summer months I live in Venice, Italy and paint primarily in watercolor and during the winter months I am in usually my etching studio.

I am primarily interested in the process of etching and printing from zinc and copper plates. This may take hours and days to complete, and then several more days of printing. In contrast, my other artistic passion is watercolor painting. It offers me a more spontaneous result.
