Artist Statement

I like to combine elements to create multi-dimensional landscapes that move between representation and abstraction. I allow the process to guide the end result, each layer informs the next step, whether it be the addition of shapes, lines, or color, or a combination of each. Using transparent inks, the colors merge to create new colors. This adds an uncontrolled element which is so often a part of pulling a print. The element of chance is what attracts me to printmaking.
