This monotype is part of a series inspired by thoughts and emotional responses to the color and geometry of the architecture of Umbria, Italy.
It was created with Master Printer Taka Maruno at The National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts in the winter of 2013. In the background layer, she was exploring different viscosities in the ink combined with a range of densities of color and shape with the foreground layer.
She likes the immediacy and experimental quality of monotypes, in addition to the element of surprise.
