I find the process of painting with colored pulp to be a spontaneous and joyful way of working. While it is challenging to control the flow and disbursement of liquid pigmented pulp it also allows for accidental surprises. I choose a bright palette and approach working without expectations or preconceived ideas. Screen print monotypes with watercolor and gouache afford the same sort of freedom and spontaneity with medium. However, more detail and development is possible. The editing of the work comes after the initial creation. Some of the pulp paintings and monotypes are then further developed with intaglio and screen print additions. I am attracted to some of the forms from the pulp paintings and monotypes that are spurring new work in the intaglio and screen print mediums that are enabling me to explore these forms in new ways.
