ARTIST STATEMENT
My principal 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 work in printmaking and drawing primarily, but also work in other mediums from time to time in order 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 serving to keep my artistic perspective fresh.
I have a strong love for words as well as for visual images, and 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.
