ABOUT
I use contemporary printmaking and painting materials and processes to create imagery that reflects the fragmentary quality of remembrance, the energy contained in objects passed down, and the resiliency reflected by creating a new life from all that has gone before.
I create one of a kind and variable edition works that explore our connections in the present with the past using original and historical imagery, ink and vintage papers.
My hope is that the viewer is offered a glimpse of a world that is not only personal but strikes a universal chord of beauty, joy and connectedness
studio news
New series, Crack/Seal
I'm excited to share a new series of work inspired by the spiral patterns I observe that are created when cracked concrete gets patched with asphalt by the road crews around my home.
These pieces represent the resilience, creativity, and hope in our own journeys. Each artwork highlights the beauty in imperfections and reminds us how healing can take place in the face of life's challenges.
New Processes
I’m exploring some experimental techniques in my project, Crack/Seal.
By merging embossing with rubbings, I can document the repair patterns. I use a water-filled lawn roller as a press and meticulously roll over the raised patterns to produce intricate images. This experimental technique transforms otherwise overlooked imagery, revealing hidden textures in our urban landscape.
Daily Meditation Cards
Almost every day I make a little tiny piece of art as a meditation practice. They are my original monotypes cut collaged and arranged in a way that pleases me in the moment. It's a way to keep art making fun and spontaneous. I mount them on beautiful blank yardstick with an envelope. Each one is different so it is the luck of the draw if you order them. $10 each or a pack of 4 for $36
