Blackrock Editions and I are very pleased to announce the release of The Watchers, a limited edition of 14, four-color lithograph print―the result of a printmaking collaboration from March through October 2020. The Watchers is evocative of nineteenth century lithographs with its delicate line work and elegant combination of warm and cool grays ranging from deepest black to palest pink french gray. Working on the limestone was a wonderful experience as not only did I feel connected to an old traditional medium, but the stone was responsive to the lightest and most delicate marks. This collaboration is truly a labor of love consisting of several weeks of planning, drawing, adjusting, and proofing to achieve the final print.

I would like to thank the staff at Blackrock Editions, especially master printer Steven Campbell and Joshua Orsburn for their commitment to craft and artistry. They are a not so new printmaking studio, having their roots from the venerable Landfall Press. Blackrock Editions was formed in 2020 as a fine art print shop with a focus on under-represented artists including women artists, artists of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
