Artist statement
As with most artists, the need to create is the overriding force and printmaking provides me with the widest range to express this need. I can be precise and controlled in my etchings and mezzotints, concentrating on the graphic quality of these techniques. Or in contrast, and to complement this, the monotypes are more fluid, allowing the brushwork and color to define the image.

My still life images are built using everyday objects, most often using glass for its distortions and reflections and combining these qualities with plants and pattern. I like to play with depth and light to recreate a mood or moment.
