The brush paintings and hand colored intaglio prints are so classic yet so delicate. Beautiful work!

Barbara Rizza Mellin" I wanted to write to say that I am so struck by your mezzotints of the eggs in the colander with the shadows! I’ve been thinking about wholeness and colanders and porousness and after googling “colander drawing shadow” tonight I stumbled upon your work. Despite the darkness of the pieces there is so much light and depth- the eggs glow and the holes in the colander’s shadow are alit. They are full of quiet." M from Pennsylvania.
