Artist Statement

For as long as I can remember, my work as a printmaker has always been the product of a deep connection to my ambient environment, especially as it works its power over me through form, tactility and color. From northern New England and around the world architectural structures, textiles, patterns (both in fabric and in nature) and the lay of the land move me to explore and transform them, bringing the complex elements of space, texture, light and hue to a two-dimensional plane.

I work consistently by a process I think of as ‘action/reaction’, intuitively progressing from one layer to the next. I usually complete a general layout beforehand although specific medium and colors develop along the way and are not always predetermined. Often, found metals, papers, textiles or colors are merely entry points into a piece of work. Thus begins the ‘action’ of making the print. I proceed until a conclusion is reached when I can no longer elicit ‘reaction’.

The resulting print may have from 3 to 40 layers that are pulled by hand by layering inks, paint or other means of the mark in a relief print. Monotype and less often monoprints are my chosen methods lately. Subtle use of metallics is incorporated into much of my work. Recently I have begun to experiment with thread into some pieces. With each project a very deliberate and conscious order is maintained throughout, assuring the integrity of the finished piece.
I love what I do.
