ARTIST'S STATEMENT
2006
Over the years the content of my work has included
images associated with places that are special to me,
sociopolitical issues, as well as the expressive
nature of space, texture and color. However, what I
find the most satisfying is creating images relating
to water, the shoreline, and the life forms nearby.
Many of my works begin with a detailed drawing. The
drawing is simplified into color and tone sections,
and then a series of lexon plates are rolled with ink
and wiped to produce the layers of color. Sometimes
the work created is a monotype, resulting from this
multi-layering process. In other instances, I
incorporate other elements such as dry point, image
transfers, chine colle`, collagraph, and/or woodcut.
I strive to create images that appear simple and
serene to the viewer/myself while employing varied and
complex layering processes. What processes are used
is determined as the print evolves.
