Printing Again!
Last summer 2003 I created a wonderful series of small dry point/mono-prints with good friend and artist/printmaker-Margo Humphry. This suite of prints is called Visica Pises A to Z. We had lots of fun. Margo inspired me to begin exploring mixed process printmaking. She created a great working environment, and reignited my passion for printing again!

Printing with Kathy Caraccio
It was a wonderful experience working with Kathy Carracio. I first learned viscosity/ intaglio printmaking from her when she was a master printer and artist working at the Historic Bob Blackburn Printmaking Workshop in New York City. Click to take a peek!
Kenya Journey
In 2003 I had the good fortune to be invited to Kenya by the U.S. Kenya Embassy and the Kuona Trust of Kenya to participate in the First East African Women Artists Workshop and Exhibition. While there and after the two-week residency and exhibition opening, I gave a master class in printmaking.
