Statement

It’s like my father always said to me, he said, Roseanne Roseannadana, it’s always something. If it isn’t one thing—it’s another! It’s always something.
                                              –Gilda Radner

Random thoughts occupy a lot of my time in “Nettieworld.” I attempt to research and plan out my work. I fail at that. My best laid plans meander off into something totally different and I am fine with that.                                                

As a printmaker, I love the process and rituals of printmaking. The area of polymer plate lithography gives me the opportunity to learn and experiment in a relatively new process. It allows me the freedom to be random yet controlled in creating my images. What you see and what I see may be very different and that pleases me.
