Artist’s Statement

Inquiry and introspection into the nature of existence, human behavior, and knowledge systems drive my desire to create visual narratives. My process is an investigation—an exploration that helps me access my own truths and deepens my understanding of the world in a broader context. I often think of what I do as serious play.

At the core of my practice is the development of a visual language—a system of forms and symbols that enables me to express ideas and concerns in ways that satisfy my hunger and feel intentional and authentic. Finished works—those that resolve themselves formally and conceptually—function as conscious maps, documenting the paths I’ve traveled and revealing a thought process.

Printmaking is integral to both the conceptual and physical development of my images. I am seduced by the act of layering ink to gradually evolve an image on paper. Using techniques such as screen printing, relief, intaglio, digital printing, and collage, often in combination, I create one-of-a-kind or small-edition works on paper.

Working in series, or bodies of work, provides a structured framework to explore broad conceptual directions that are not easily conveyed within a single piece. While each work is complete on its own, its meaning is often informed by other pieces in the series. These projects take form as exhibitions, installations, artist books, and boxed portfolios, offering layered and interconnected narratives that invite diverse interpretation.
