Artist Statement
Color and Shape: a Word about How I Work
I am a Printmaker.
I left the world of figurative painting and found myself in the world of vibrating colors and shapes.
I hadn't felt these things so intensely until I began printmaking. How harmonious or jarring colors can be; how they promote or tamp down what surrounds them; how their weight influences the shapes I create.
I use sequential printing method. Each successive printing alters the character of the print with often-unexpected results.
When the print is finally released from the press there is a thrill of revelation. This excitment and discovery is what propels me forward.
Educational Background
I have taken classes at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking and the Silvermine School of Art in Connecticut and the Westchester Center for the Arts in New York.
I have a BA from the University of Miami and a Masters from George Washington University.
