Stone and Press Gallery celebrates artists who have worked in traditional printmaking techniques to create fine art that is accessible and collectible for all. Artists, past and present, have used these techniques to promote an idea, to protest an outrage, and even to produce the original “selfies”.

“I talk a lot about my sexuality through my photos, I feel that there is something that makes me feel. There is always this little sexual impulse in what I portray, going a little bit beyond normal. Here in the jungle, it’s cool because it correlates with nature. I love those two languages together.”

Alyssa first appears abstract. Then very slowly you realize it is an extreme close up of a young woman's face covered with drops of water. Eventually the water droplets appear each containing bits and pieces of the woman's face and torso.

For the last four years most photographs Rollin Leonard’s taken have been through a drop of water, pushing the limits of water as an optical tool.
