Meet the Artist
New York-based professional printmaker, Susan Rostow, set out to create non-toxic printmaking inks prior to the birth of her son in 1996. She invented Akua Inks, which enabled her to continue making art in her home studio without the worry of toxic elements. "I love all the Akua products equally-Mother's can't play favorites! I find the way Akua Inks stay open on my plates and dry by absorbing into the printmaking paper special. This feature makes it possible for me to achieve many ghost impressions, a necessary part of my printmaking process."
