Artist Statement
Based on observations of nature, I use the process of printmaking to transform the images via installations with unusual juxtapositions. Some images dance across the wall on angular wood reliefs, while others are printed on translucent, billowing paper. The dialogue of disparate yet related imagery, offers the viewer both a sense of energy and serenity, and invites one to explore the singularity of form and see into surprising new spaces.
