About The Artist
My goal as a printmaker is to create a vision of place or object that brings a unique interpretation to the viewer. I love the play of dark against light and the clarity of shapes that emerge once color is subdued. I strive to put a touch of melancholy or mystery into many of my images.
I rely heavily on historic processes for printing, primarily platinum palladium and photogravure and I love to explore with unique papers and textures. Many of my images are printed on kozo and gampi papers, hand made in Japan in the traditional way. Color is introduced through the use of hand tinting, consistent with processes used historically.
