My medium is printmaking. I have been printing on and off for many years but now that I’ve settled into a quieter lifestyle, I’ve devoted more time to printing and rediscovering the medium and the endless possibilities.

My focus is on color, form, space and texture. I bring these elements together to set a tone, tell a story, express a point of view or bring about an emotion.

For me, every print session is like a little road trip that starts with the colors I’ve mixed and the abstract shapes I’ve created. Rolling out the ink, layering the shapes and adding marks are like the off-ramps to getting to a destination. The journey always allows for exploring new materials and approaches and discovering new techniques.
