Beauty, Mystery and Spirit are the main themes of my linocut prints.

I have always been naturally curious, and this curiosity has become a foundation to the way that I see the world. For me mystery evokes wonder. I see it as enticing and elusive, and it demands that I believe in things unknown. Images come to me in my minds eye
by way of music, literature, dreams, and experiences. I do not always know their meaning, but have grown to welcome the urgency in which they present themselves. I also
incorporate symbolic images such as birds, keys, and doors, which encourage personal interpretations and self-reflection.

I’ve always loved working with the figure. Experimenting with movement, shape, and expression in eyes, face, and hands has always fascinated me. The figures in my work are usually female. This is not always intentional. I think the figure naturally evolves into the feminine form because the subjects I address are usually very personal to my situation.

The entire process of printmaking is one of anticipation. The original idea grows and changes, often in surprising ways during the process of carving the plate. Only after the artwork is actually printed onto the paper do I really know what the finished piece has become.

Ultimately I do not seek to unravel mystery and present solutions, but rather record my observations and ideas, encouraging others to seek out the answers for themselves.
