The Recycled Rain Project: In 2016 I was asked to be a featured artist for The Recycled Rain Project. The project organizers encouraged us to use collected rain water in our artwork. As an oil painter and printmaker that used only oil based inks I felt compelled to rise to the challenge and use water based printmaking inks, something I had never done before. It took a few months of trial and error but now I primarilly use water based inks for my monotypes. I am ever greatful for the door that opened thanks to this show.
