       Artist Statement

As an artist, I explore the intersection of the natural world and the human spirit, juxtaposing techniques in printmaking with the contemporary form of the artist book. All images represented here are created as monotypes. Using various drawing and painting tools, the images are worked into ink on Plexiglas, after which a resulting one-of-a-kind print is pulled. There is a sense of utter focus when I am making a monotype. The distractions of daily life temporarily fade and there is nothing standing between my mind, my heart and the ink on the plate.

This series, titled In Between, was created during a residency at the Vermont Studio Center in November 2010. It represents a world in flux; the moments between here and there, now and then, yesterday and tomorrow.
