Artist Statement

In the early 90’s, I took a printmaking course and fell in love with the process. Unlike other passionate relationships that fade with time, the passion and love I had for printmaking has only gotten more intense. Several years ago, I started exploring mixed media and have found that combining collage and monotype is another relationship that works for me. In my latest work, I am combining photography and digital imaging with my other techniques as well as adding other materials. The possibilities are exponential.

Nature nurtures and inspires me. I combine elements of nature, texture and design along with the magic of the press. When I like a subject, it stays with me. I am intrigued by memory and what remains in our mind’s eye. The scenes from travel near and far inform my work. The play of light on water intrigues me.

I am interested in my expressive and passionate response to the color and pattern of the landscape or image. My work is informed by an accumulation of such scenes and the pleasure I get from the creative process. Rather than representing every detail, I am evoking the hidden and revealing the atmosphere, creating personal visual memoirs. I am I using both traditional monotype techniques as well as experimenting with using digital imaging of my own work prints, manipulating them until I got an image I like, which I then get printed into a high quality archival pigment print which I then used traditional monotype techniques on top of, creating a one-of-a-kind mixed media print, often using other media (pencil, pastel, craypas, etc.) These new series express my reactions to the many places I have visited and reveal how I have been changed forever from the experiences of my journey.

My focus on the process, not the outcome, frees me to be experimental. Following my passion and living my dream energize me to be productive and alive. I feel like I am now living out loud. I want to share that passion and joie de vivre with those seeing my work, triggering a memory or experience for the viewer.
