Artist’s Statement

I relish sketching imagery from my adventures in the natural world. I keep a sketchbook handy to record my interactions and observations. All creatures fascinate me and are often featured in my work. Etching and monotype allow my sketches to come to life, enhanced and transformed by the textures so unique to printmaking.
