Master etcher Viviane de Kosinsky specializes
in Rembrandt's method of intensive line drawing executed directly
onto hand-polished etching plates. The drawn plates are immersed
in nitric acid baths, and the lim-ited editions are printed
by hand on her studio press overlooking the Potomac River.
A selection of these original hand-pulled prints are painted
with many layers of watercolor using small brushes, creating
unique mixed media works in the tradition of 19th and 20th
C. book illustration.
Born in Geneva, Switzerland, the artist
has lived abroad in Italy and London for a number of years
and has exhibited worldwide with small works measuring less
than 5 x 7 inches as well as larger pieces. She holds academic
degrees in Printmaking and Illustration from the Rhode Island
School of Design, The Villa Schifanoia Graduate School of
Fine Arts in Florence, and the International Graphics Institute
in Venice. Price range: $75-$2,000
