We offer studio rental, quarterly classes, host demonstrations of fine art printmaking, and also host monthly exhibitions, which serve as an outlet for our renters, students, and instructors to show their work.

There is great beauty in our everyday lives: a morning serving of a gleaming red pomegranate, a summer evening of learning constellations from a mother, the nostalgia of playing "house" with a favorite toy. These memories from childhood catch my imagination and propel me toward printmaking. Familiar objects and moments become metaphors to share my appreciation and convey human experience. |

Since renting at Sev Shoon, I have found the etching process to be addictive as I revel in the methodical nature of the medium. I use aquatint, chin colle, hand coloring, and viscosity roll techniques to create variance in the images.
