Artist Statement
I find inspiration for my hand-pulled prints in the details of nature. The farmlands, gardens, forests and roadsides of our area inspire my work. I ascribe to the idea that beauty can be found right in one's midst. My work explores the tentative aspect of nature, the spiritual connection of man to the environment, and the need to protect what we have. As I walk, photograph and find inspiration in the outdoors, I collect natural materials to incorporate into my work. My hand-pulled prints show glimpses and textures of nature through multiple images within one work. I combine collagraph, monotype, chine colle and etching techniques in my prints.
