About Serigraphs

Over forty years ago I pulled my first serigraph print and have been hooked ever since. The way I work there are such major transformations that take place during the process that it continues to amaze me.

Stencil printing, which is what silk screening is, dates back to the days of the cave man. I have developed what I call the reduction method of serigraphy in which I generally use one screen per print edition. Normally, one would use one screen per color in an edition. At an early stage I knew this would not be practical, and necessity became the mother of invention. I average around 20 colors per print, though I have used up to 62.

In the printmaking world, editions of 100 to 300 are considered small. Unlike the majority of prints that are copied on machines, original prints are hand “pulled” by the artist (or the artist supervises the pulling of the print.) Each color on every print of mine is pulled by me. My serigraph editions run from 15 to 30.
