I'm excited to share a new series of work inspired by the spiral patterns I have observed that are created when cracked concrete gets patched by the road crews around my home. The crack seal “mends” the damaged parts of the original design. The reparative actions and the overall design of the print provide a lovely metaphor for the workings of memory.

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. 

Using Masa, a Japanese paper I am experimenting with making large format prints on the etching press by folding and refolding the paper and printing small sections with carved woodblocks.  I repeat the process many times in order to create large unified images.

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

Most days you can find me in the studio either in Seattle or Walla Walla.  Get in touch if you would like to come by for a visit, I would love to see you and it will give me incentive to tidy up!
