| About the Artist | 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) |

| Full Text | Statement about "Venezia" and "RiverPlace" DYANN ALKIRE "Venezia" When the artist visited Europe, Venice, Italy stood out as the most unusual and beautiful place, and it was this city that inspired the artist to make "Venezia". The corroding and decaying forces of nature coupled with the opposing delicate quality of nature, and the fragility of man-made objects surfaces in "Venezia". "RiverPlace" "RiverPlace" is a work that was inspired by the RiverPlace complex on the Willamette River waterfront in Portland. Compelled by the distinctive and unusual architecture, the artist made the Alexis Hotel the main character in a work that has a Northwest atmosphere to the surrounding water, boats, and sky. |
