According to her literature, de Kosinsky's works with traditional line etching, drawing directly on the metal plate with a steel needle without the use of digital or photo techniques, or slide projectors. The plate is immersed in nitric acid baths and the prints are hand-pulled on an etching press. Some prints are taken from the edition and painted delicately and beautifully with watercolors, converting these proofs into unique paintings.
Many of de Kosinky's paintings depict everyday scenes of streets, kitchens, hotels, restaurants, gardens, and landscapes, sometimes "peopled with cats, dogs, chefs and wild boars." She has a special fondness for Paris and Venice where she spent time studying. Her works are represented in the permanent collections of the Association of American University Women, the Florida Miniature Art Society, and the Historical Society of Amsterdam. The show runs through Nov. 30.
