In high school I tried art because there wasn't anything else left, then in college while studying graphic design I had to take a break from it and try "real" art stuff, so while taking painting classes i had to switch to printmaking because painting wasn't working for me.
Eighteen years later I am working fom my studio in Grand Rapids Michigan, I have two presses, one handmade and the other a used one that I bought from a printmaker in chicago.
The studio is locted inside a warehouse called Tanglefoot, they were the first manufactures of the fly strips and they are still in business.
Right now I only work at the studio, I just had a baby and it is really nice to be able to work and be with her every day. I am still figuring out how to balance motherhood and studio time.
