20 Two Large Format Prints created on a 16"x 20" Gelli Plate with oil resists and metallic paints

Video Description

This is my early journey into large format printing on a gel plate (16x20) and more recently, Gelli Arts 18" x 24" newest plate. I've been gel printing on smaller plates to create collage papers for many years but never with this large format, until I went through a hard season losing my husband to brain injuries. I came across Fulton Sim at @artwhisperer88 who continually inspires many of us with his retro minimalist printmaking and sometimes, he's inspired from other modern art masters, as he demonstrates. I'm inspired by Fulton, his art practice, his methodology, and his desire to educate the YouTube audience about printmaking and create a sharing community here, but I'm going my own way of exploration with printmaking in an effort NOT TO COPY him. I hope I inspire you in some small way, too. I am inspired by many other artists, too many to name personally here, but my art heroes continue to influence me daily: Judy Woods Art @judywoodsart and Pam Caughey @PamelaCaughey. I'm still not 100%. I have health issues, chronic pain mostly and I'm moving forward in life. I anticipate my artwork making MORE huge leaps! If I can do this creative life, so can YOU. Remember, Dreams Never Die.
