Lauren Stevens was raised alongside car engineers and Bible scholars in the desert terrain of Chandler, Arizona. A young love of pen and ink drawing easily translated to the linear nature of copper etching when she studied at the Kansas City Art Institute. There, she earned her BFA with a specialized emphasis in printmaking. Now, she is furthering her research as the Fall 2023 printmaking candidate at Arizona State University.
About my Printing Process
I create my prints using traditional etching processes that originated in the 16th century. The designs are hand-drawn into a copper sheet and etched in an acid bath. The plate, now carrying the eroded line work on its surface, transfers the design on paper when rolled through a printing press.
