Printmaking was the most intense course I've taken thus far at A&D. It was labor intensive and had a severe learning curve. So, after having survived
one semester with the fantastic Endi Poskovic, why am I enrolled in
another printmaking course in the fall? Madness! Insanity! Yes,
printmaking is a ton of work but the results are SO worth it. After having
produced so much work that I am so proud of in just one semester - I've
never felt so accomplished at the University of Michigan. For the first time, I feel like every ounce of sweatand tears - yes, there were tears - made my
artwork even better. While lithography andintaglio were amazing and I
learned so much, I'm stepping into woodcuts next semester -
a whole other beast.

A beast I am ready to tame.
