Artist Statement

Printmaking is comparable to the process of composing a symphony. Each ‘instrumental sound’ adds an additional element to the final composition’s uniqueness.

The ‘instruments’ I select include a variety of mediums and techniques to create my symphony: Intaglio, collaograph, wood block, and screen print. With these processes, layers of techniques are utilized to complete my final compositions.

​Nature serves as a primary element; sand ripples after the tide goes out, whimsical soaring of birds in flight and dream like cloud formations are just a few of my inspirations. My goal is to communicate living energy which surrounds us that we are often unable to see but are able to sense.
