"My etchings depict diverse architectural themes: New York City skylines, buildings and bridges and from my own backyard. I work in the printmaking medium of intaglio. I am attracted to this medium because of the possibilities its techniques provide; these techniques of line etching, aquatint and soft ground lend themselves well in finding the lights and rich darks in these images.
I start the image abstractly from the forms observed. I enjoy finding the interplay of the tonal variations within the composition. The colors are a challenge to determine and their configuration becomes an integral aspect of the etching. Each image is like taking a journey from the initial idea to the final print." —Linda Adato, Artist
