S R Dickie

Most of my prints are monotypes, done on an etching press. These one-of-a-kind prints are often a combination of several techniques, such as painting on the plate, hand rubbing, collage, clay prints, photo transfers, etc. The prints are often run through the press several times to achieve a multi-layered look.

Inspiration and ideas usually come from things I know and love: the garden and all its many inhabitants, my collections of things, interesting dwellings, old books and magazines, scraps of paper I pick up on trips. I also look to my favorite artists (mostly the Expressionists) Schmidt-Rottluff, Matisse, Rouault, Kirshner, Modersohn-Becker, Modigiliani, and a host of others.
