This year’s donation to WAAM’s Paper Unframed Exhibition & Auction is entitled MONA AND ME. One of my favorite little etchings, she was inspired by my 2001 summer excursions abroad. Spending a month living, breathing, and printmaking in downtown Florence brought the privilege of studying with Master Printers Ron Pokrasso and Dan Welden at the Santa Reparata Graphic Art Centre.
