etching technique: 'maneira negra' /from a series of etchings which forms part of Artist Portrait series (10 x 10cm plate size)
O'Keefe's paintings were exploratory and innovative particularly her abstract flowers. She lived to paint and achieved great success for a woman of her time. No small thing in my mind that she comes from Wisconsin where I grew up. It is her independent spirit as well as her art which has always impressed me.
