In collaboration with renowned printmaster, French printmaster Pascal Giraudon of Atelier Giraudon, I have transformed my original oil paintings into the next generation of my artistic communication---limited edition etchings executed on BFK Rives White 270 grs paper. These etchings are in editions of 55. My paintings are born in black, white and shades of gray, beginning with extensive drawing from concept to canvas. Thus the medium of etching is the perfect messenger to convey the simple elegant beauty found in the floral's composition.

Giraudon arrived in the United States from Paris after receiving his training at Atelier La Couriere Frelaut as apprentice to Jacques Frelaut and working with historically important artists Henry Moore, Marc Chagall, and Joan Miro. His particular expertise is in all techniques of intaglio, photoetching, photogravure, and heliogravure.
