Artists' Statement

I am fascinated with colors and shapes and how they interact.

I use printmaking as my means to explore this. As I work, the elements blend, almost threatening each other, creating a prototype that is rich, strong, edgy and commanding all at once.

I like the infinity of all the layers that can be achieved, the richness of the color, and the sophistication of the marks that can be rendered through this complex medium.

I juxtapose unrelated materials, images, shapes, and colors through a combination of different techniques. I work with a combination of fine precise lines and powerful colored massed areas contrasting against crisp white paper to create strong imagery. The resulting images portray a characteristic and contemporary style that invites individual responses and interpretation.
