Artist’s statement

My preferred method of making images is through Relief Printmaking using wood or lino. I like exploring an expressive language in a dialogue between between positive and negative (most often printing in black ink on white paper), representation and abstraction, control and accident. I search for subjects with a camera or draw, sometimes using nature symbolically or a city in construction or destruction. Exploring ideas and teaching a variety of skills have been an important and absorbing part of my creative life.
