“I really believe that colors “speak” to me…..as I look while printing and studying each stage, while seeking for some color sense that seems to be needed….it calls to put something there, to bring that color in, to see something in the next run that responds or reacts to what has already been printed. That is the best state to be in for me, when the colors and the developing image starts to take over and lead me on.”
