My work consists primarily of Cyanotypes, Oil Paintings and Monotypes.

CYANOTYPES, an iron-based photographic process, was the first simple, practical, non-silver photograph. Discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1842, just three short years after the announcement of the discovery of photography, the cyanotype provided permanent images in an array of rich Prussian Blues. Always hand sensitized, exposed in the sun and washed in water; each print is unique. The toning process I use to change the image from blue, is a second step using yerba mate, sometimes black and green teas, coffee, even red wine and wine tannins yielding a variety of permanent sepias.

OIL PAINTINGS. The materials are familiar to us all as a time-proven process used to create the most beautiful and durable of all artworks. My goal with oil colors is to exploit the transparency of oil colors using natural linseed oils as a medium.

MONOTYPES are technically prints, but a transferred image of only one. My process normally involves drawing on a fully inked glass sheet, removing the ink using razor blades, solvents, and or a variety of scraping tools, then transferring the remaining image by hand to acid-free papers.
