Artist's Statement

Printmaking is my favorite means of artistic expression. I like its versatility and the element of surprise that the printmaking press and different art papers bring to the process of making art.

Monotype (painting with ink on plexiglass or another material and transferring it to paper) and drypoint (carving lines into plexiglass and transferring the inked lines to paper) are my favorite printmaking methods, as well as transfer (transferring digital images or xeroxed images to paper).

In my artwork I try to examine what it means to be human, and how we fit into the magic and wonder of the universe. People and nature, including trees, birds and the planets, are prominent subjects in my work.
