This project chronicles my explorations of the human figure in intaglio and relief printmaking and in the medium of artists' books. I had very little experience in the field of printmaking prior to my acceptance into the Masters program at Ball State University. I found intaglio, or etching into a metal plate, stimulating and exciting because there are very few limitations in terms of what I can do with this medium. I received a Bachelors of Fine Arts in drawing from SUNY Fredonia. Creating artwork in the printmaking medium has allowed my drawing skills to continue to grow and provided a variety of new technical possibilities. I choose to work with the figure because it is an important subject for an artist to study in order to learn to draw. Since all humans share the same basic structure, it is something that everyone should relate to. It is also something that translates into every possible medium, from cave drawings to fashion design. Many of the artists I have studied, such as Albrecht Durer, and Francisco Goya, worked with the figure in printmaking. Their work provided inspiration while I pursued my own work in this field. / Department of Art

The purpose of this project is to create a group of paintings/portraits of two close friends, using the medium of oil bars on gessoed paper. This medium will be explained in the text of the paper. The paintings were an attempt to describe aspects of personality that I see in my friends, their own personal struggles and victories. I observed these changes first hand. I told the story of these changes, as they evolved, in the paintings.The six paintings explore the naturalistic style which is new for me. It will open other avenues of visual expression. It was necessary for me to spend time in research and study of other contemporary artists who have worked with the figure and portraits. The study of other artists is an artistic discipline that helped me clarify, in my own mind, the purpose and problem-solving that took place in the course of my study. / Department of Art
