Clay Mono Prints

My continuing exploration through the arts fuels my creativity, regardless of the medium. The process I use to develop a clay mono-print requires knowledge of working with wet clay, pigments, color mixing and pattern making, using various tools and textures.  

The design of each plate produces a unique print and allows for limitless opportunities to create a wide variety of abstract images.

Every print, with its many layers of colored clay slips, give the designs a unique depth and dimension. No two prints are ever identical. For me, each handmade piece has the element of surprise added to the equation and always triggers great excitement and exhilaration. With this creative freedom comes an opportunity for infinite artistic expression

The process uses pure pigment mixed with china clay as a medium.  The medium is applied using various methods to a slab of leather hard clay from which the artist pulls a print. Each print is an original and is archival.
