Artist Statement
Most of my art career I have worked as a painter predominantly in large abstract acrylics on canvas. Recently retired, I now have time to explore other forms of expression. I began studying print making with Merle Spandorfer while continuing work in acrylic painting.
I found the collagraph to be an exciting process and very different from that of painting. First being inspired by the found objects to build the plate, creating the collage composition for the plate, applying the color, and then the print's birth! I found that my paintings fed into my prints and then my prints allowed me to propel to a new level of painting. I continue to work in parallel.
My recent work focuses on my road trips out west during which I was inspired by extended stays in our national parks. These works explore the earth's astoundingly broad palette and ancient geological patterns.
My recent work is dedicated to expressing these emerging and ever-changing colorful patterns in parallel works of acrylic on canvas and collagraph prints.
