Artist’s Statement

Inquiry and introspection about the nature of things—existence, human behavior, knowledge systems—drive my desire to create visual narratives. My process is an investigation that helps me access my own truths and facilitates my understanding of the world in a broader context.

I am interested in visual language development and its capacity to enhance thinking, perception, insight, meaning and interpretation. My works function as conscious maps that document paths explored and reveal a process of thinking.

Printmaking serves the conceptual and physical development of my images. I am seduced by layering ink to evolve an image on paper. I employ screen printing, relief printing, intaglio printing, digital printing, and collage to make one-of-a-kind or small edition works on paper.

I often work in series focused in a specific conceptual direction. Each work functions independently, but is often informed by the context of other work in the series. These projects are presented as exhibition concepts, installations, artist books, and boxed portfolios.
