Graphics:

Created "on the spot" in cafes, circuses, coal mines, homes, industral and rural settings and far-flung places, Stevens has produced a large number of energetic, boldly delineated ink drawings in which black line dominates and defines both mood and substance. She also creates small etchings that illustrate her books and very large independent etchings of realistically rendered but entirely imaginative scenes. Her linocuts and silverpoint drawings (not illustrated) echo similar ideas and may include the artist's poems or prose.

The ink and brush drawings (#1 and #2) "New Orleans Piano Player" and "New Orleans Trombone Player" were done in a Bourbon Street cafe long before Hurricane Katrina. They were printed with other Stevens' drawings as part of a New Orleans tribute in the Fall 2005/Winter 2006 issue of Confrontation, the literary journal of Long Island University.

The ink and pen and brush drawing (#3) "Evergreen," an elegaic portrait of a solitary tree, was printed with Stevens' poetry in her 2000 volume, Household Words. Etching #4, "Apotheosis" is the last of three, recent 32-inch diameter allegorical copper rondos. "The Dance" #5 is an etching from the "edition de livre" Eranos. "When I Was Three..." #6 and "Nothing in the Center" #7 are large, recent copperplate etchings. "When I Was Three..." is based on an impossible childhood memory. "Nothing in the Center" illustrates an idea that came from nowhere.

"The Night Lover" #8 is an etching from the poetry book of the same name.

Artist's Statement:

I am an illustrator of fleeting impressions, fiction and imagination. I often choose etching as a graphic medium because of its surprises. As with a poem or a story, one can never be sure how and etching will turn out.
