Artist’s Statement
I find myself inspired by nature’s never ending endowment and pervasive spirit. My prints and drawings attempt to convey the “magic” that one can imagine within it, and as I work on a subject, I intend to not just replicate what I see but to translate it using my own set of tools and symbols. Tools such as line, pattern, graphic mark-making and symbolism that I have developed over the years into a personal style.
While the end result is important I often find the process just as meaningful. Whether planning out a multicolor serigraph or spending eighty hours drawing a giant whale, I take joy and feel contentment from the act of doing. I find it to be therapeutic and a way of connecting with the subject.
