Artist Statement
What I love most about printmaking is that it is founded on process, and in that process there is a great deal of room for experimentation, variation, and integrating media other than just ink and paper. Informed by book arts, a construction aspect has not only come to play in my work, but has become an integral part of my process. Repetition and attention to detail appeal to the obsessive part of my nature and my tendency to worry.

While constantly craving change, wishing for change, and working for change in my life, anxiety and fear accompany my anticipation of change actually occurring.

Working in my studio, I spend a lot of time thinking about how memories of our pasts and hopes for our futures shape who we are in the present; I also think about the people in our lives and how we affect them. While striving for an unrealistic and undefined perfection, I have been trying to embrace the subtle beauty of imperfection.

I am very goal oriented and sentimental. Both of these attributes, I pour into my work.
