I used an old vinyl that I bought at
a thrift store as my main printable surface. The way the charcoal looked inspired me to include text.

After growing up in Paris, the Eiffel Tower became part of my life. I used drypoint to create this print from an image that I had etched in my mind. I wanted to include as much detail I could in the icon to show
its strength and architectural grandeur.

Using the tale of Hansel and Gretel
as well as Roy Lichtenstein's work
as inspiration, I made Gretel as a
more prominent figure in this print
done using hardground. The layers
in the print distinguish between
different parts of the story.

This photoetch print combines the known Ntl. Geographic photograph of Sharbat Gula as a young child and as an older woman. Since the photographer was able to recognize her years later due to her eyes, I used that feature as my focus.
