"Cherish" is a handmade stone lithograph, printed by hand on acid free Somerset printmaking paper made in England. The original image was inspired by a wooden office chair that had become obsolete and was being replaced by modern metal office furniture. It was rescued at that time by my mother and then once again by me after it sat in two feet of water following Hurricane Katrina. It continues to be one of my most cherished possessions.
Drawn on Bavarian limestone, the image was then etched and printed with black lithograph ink on white paper. Limited edition of 12 prints. Once the edition was completed, the stone was ground with carborundum and water, erasing all traces of the image.
Size of image: 8-1/2"W x 11"H including borders.
Artist: Pamela Doell O'Malley.
