Lithography, Relief, Intaglio
Printmaking is the art of drawing combined with science and technology -
a blend which keeps both sides of my brain engaged. Prints are the result
of delicate collaboration between the artist, the process, and the printing
press which makes the resulting marks uniquely satisfying for me.
Whether I choose to examine figuration or nature, my work has always been
deeply personal and driven by a need to capture the essence of my subject
and record the inherent qualities that originally compelled me to explore it.
