Artist Statement

My artwork is inspired by nature, growth, movement and organic material. As a printmaker, I create many textures using a variety of mediums and techniques which include: monotype, collograph, collage, encaustic, etching, lithography, and direct printing. My work represents life in many different forms, however while the images may be recognizable, they are not designed to depict true reality. It is my intent to maintain the appeal of abstract art and to leave each piece up to the viewers’ interpretation.
