Latest Series: Assessment
After over decade pause in art study, I had the magnificent opportunity to complete a fine art diploma. The Diploma of Visual Arts had three portfolio options; Painting, Printmaking and Jewelery. I chose printmaking. Subjects also delved into drawing techniques, where I tapped into a skill I didn’t think I had. Skill might be a strong word but I’m practicing.
Etching aluminium plates with a copper sulphate mordant solution is the technique I chose to produce prints.
Portfolio
Botanicals
Testing my skills I took photographs of my own garden, transferred them to a soft ground plate, etched, and then Intaglio printed onto 300msg watercolour paper. Watercolour paper was chosen to paint prints later.
Etching Plates
Completing my Diploma of Visual Arts with a specialisation in Printmaking. Using experimental materials, aluminium plates etching with a copper sulphate mordant, only a handful of artists around the world are using these materials as professional printmakers.
