ARTIST STATEMENT
My primary interest is in expressing the essence of a particular form. Whether the subject is botanical, animal, or architectural, I strive for balance, grace, and simplicity in the finished work.
I primarily work in printmaking and drawing, but frequently work in other mediums to add diversity and depth to my overall artistic expression. I find that this 'crossing over' into other mediums enhances my skills in general, as well as keeping my artistic perspective fresh.
I have a strong love for words as well as for visual images, and so I occasionally incorporate original poetry and prose with my images. My purpose in doing so, besides for my own artistic satisfaction, is to create pieces which will allow you an experience of deeper emotional texture and connection with my work.
I hope that my work will in some way enrich your life.
