I’m a printmaker drawn to the details of everyday life, particularly the ones that are easy to overlook. I believe those quieter details can be just as important as the things that demand our attention. A bird in the yard, the shape of a flower, a shell, or the pattern of light can become the starting point for my work.
After more than 20 years as a graphic designer, I found my way back to the hands-on process of printmaking. I had studied screen printing and etching in college, but when I returned to the studio, I discovered monotype. I was drawn to its spontaneity and the freedom to work intuitively, allowing an image to change and evolve as I worked.
After moving to North Carolina and finding myself without access to a traditional printing press, I began exploring linocut. Carving offered something very different. It required me to slow down, make deliberate choices, and commit to each mark. Today I work in both processes and am increasingly interested in the conversation between them: the fluid, one-of-a-kind nature of monotype alongside the more deliberate process of relief printing.
My work begins with my own experiences and the things I notice around me. I hope each print encourages someone to pause, look a little more closely, and discover a connection to a memory or experience of their own.
