ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I attended Boston University where I majored in Painting.  My salvation during this time was found in the printmaking studio located in the basement of the fine arts building.  There I developed a love for printmaking, its rich black lines, textures and the tactile responses it elicited in me.

While completing a MFA program at BU for Art Education, I was encouraged to play and experiment with a variety of art materials.  Emphasis was placed on the creative responses to materials rather than the finished product.  This complemented my feelings about printmaking and has influenced my work to this day.

Over the years I have combined a number of mediums in my printmaking work.  Currently I have been working with encaustic paints, which compliments my tactile response to materials.

This medium allows me to combine prints, textures and color while experimenting with the unique qualities of this wax based paint.

My images are often landscape oriented and reflect my impressions of light, colors and textures at an observed moment in time.
