etching/monoprint, 17.5" x 18"

Policoff says of her work: "Images come to life in my mind easily; translating them into color and form is the challenge."
A printmaker for the last decade (originally she painted in oils) and graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of fine arts, Policoff has had solo shows in galleries in the Berkeley, California area, in New York City and at Princeton University. She has participated in Juried shows in California, Nevada, Denmark and Great Britain, among others. Policoff's early training in biology and her love of animals, insects and nature at large play an important role in all of her prints.

Shapes and colours in nature imprint themselves on my imagination so that I feel the necessity to get them down on paper; thus begin my monotypes. When I feel the urge to add etching to a monotype, it then becomes a monoprint, and the plate with the etching can be used in other monotypes.
