ARTISTS’ STATEMENT
My intent as a painter and a printmaker of the landscape is to bring the viewer into my vision, by assisting to expand the viewer’s capacity to interpret, by way of exploring the many possibilities that exist in how we look at the world around us. Color and light, their interaction, the way they affect everything around them, as well as the simplicity of form that lies beneath detail are all factors which impact my work. Of great importance to me as well is the nature of the process, particularly in printmaking, whereby I set up goals for myself in trying to push certain processes to resemble other processes, striving for a similar result without compromising each individual technique. I strongly believe in the constant experimentation of materials and technique to not only broaden my options as an artist, but to avoid a comfortable complacency in my work.
