I like etching because I like to draw. Things such as deep sea life, insects, birds, fish, and architectural structures appeal to me, and I combine them in my compositions. Each piece has a certain theme that just evolves as I work on the plate, rather than having a set idea from the beginning. (Alkire, 1987)

My work combines things that I see that have special appeal to me, and how I combine them compositionally is important. (Alkire, 1987)
