I make my monoprints by painting on glass, placing a sheet of paper over the glass, and, using a press, transferring the image from the glass to the paper. I only make one rubbing, so each print is one-of-a-kind (as "mono" suggests). I love monoprints because they give you the originality of a painting with the line quality of a print.

Monoprints are my bread and butter. I've been selling them at outdoor markets and art fairs for years. Most of my monoprints feature fictitious subjects--dogs and cats, rabbis, kings and queens. I'm often commissioned to create specialized images for people, or to re-create some of my favorite images using specific colors or backgrounds. These days, I sell my monoprints in Union Square in Manhattan. I also have Tom Elsdon selling them for me on Saturdays at Capitol Hill's Eastern Market in Washington, D.C. All of my monoprints, which are done on beautiful cotton rag paper, are priced under $600.
