I received a portfolio scholarship to attend Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, where I obtained my B.F.A. in Printmaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTyler gave me an opportunity to travel to Rome where I studied with master printmakers exploring modern and ancient printing techniques. It was there that I fell in love with the medium. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am moved by the process of printmaking, finding a true passion for creating the matrix. Carving, scraping, burning and preparing a printing plate fuels my work. I see the plate as its own sculptural entity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe work I create is inspired by the patterns, textures and forms I notice in nature.  Most importantly I am excited by color. It’s thrilling to see it spread across a surface, mix with another color or complement  it. The images I use are taken from my interactions with nature. When I meet a creature or come across a botanical it’s my goal to record that moment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Studio Hamptons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44338468618420,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/3324\/7156\/files\/0_7b892f7b-bb58-4a01-b54f-217ba0145619.jpg?v=1786154558","url":"https:\/\/artstudiohamptons.com\/products\/monotype-printing-larissa","provider":"Art Studio Hamptons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
