The beauty of art is that it allows me to layer facets of my life into a creative work. My works center my interactions with nature and the surrounding landscape. The joy that I experience when I am surrounded by the natural world helps me deal with life’s feelings of longing, poignancy, and melancholy.

 

Printmaking gives me a chance to use traditional techniques of etching, monotype, and relief sometimes to make multiple, but more recently to make a singular work of art: the monoprint. I enjoy the gestures of painting and strive to combine those movements with printmaking.
