Artist Statement

My work is primarily in watercolor and monotype printmaking, sometimes a unique combination of the two mediums.
In both mediums I begin with soft backgrounds, developing structure, revealing and obscuring shapes. I build layer-by-layer, defining edges set against soft passages to create visual complexity and excitement.
This layered approach has also led me to a deeper view of my creative vision. I want to convey a sense of wholeness and unity in my work. I hope that my imagery crosses cultural divides, might even span time, and unites the human spirit with the natural environment.
