Abstract Acrylic Monoprint
"I like trying things, I like the curiosity of it." — Frank O. Gehry
My creative life has always been a dance between different disciplines—from music and movement to ceramics and the written word. While my roots reach back to the technical foundations of linocut and other printing techniques, I found my artistic home in April 2025: the vibrant, spontaneous world of acrylic gel printing. My creative process thrives on constant experimentation and an endless search for new perspectives—making this the ideal medium for my work. My monoprints are not just images; they are records of curiosity. Each piece is an exploration of texture, shape, and color, born from a place of play and a deep love for the process.
My creative process
I find my best work in the 'what-ifs.' Through a process of color layering, playing, and continuous experimentation, I embrace the unexpected, turning spontaneous discoveries into finished works of art.
Every piece I create is a monoprint—a 'one-of-a-kind' original. There are NO reproductions here; each work is a singular unrepeatable moment! I don't always start with a specific meaning in mind, but the work always carries the same spirit: a sense of surprise, a spark of joy, and a little bit of magic.
Gel Printing Plates Sizes: 8"x 10" and 9"x12" inches
My unique & original Monoprint Zines
A zine (pronounced "zeen") is a small, self-published booklet that serves as a unique canvas for creative expression. Each one starts as a single sheet of paper, which I carefully fold and transform into a multi-page booklet. It's a tactile, pocket-sized way to experience art.
Each of my zines is an original work of art, handcrafted using an 8" x 10" gel printing plate. When folded, the piece functions as an intimate art booklet, showcasing eight distinct, unique monoprint segments. Unfold the zine to reveal the full-scale original print.
