To create my images I use photography, digital collage, contact printing, lithography inks, and pastels on watercolor paper. The watercolor paper is soaked in a gelatin bath then dried. In the meantime a digital negative is made, contact printed under UV lights on the sensitized watercolor paper which then becomes the matrix for applying lithography inks, building up layers upon layers to create the desired image.
