Language, landscape, and the disconnect between people and places are thought-filled spaces within which I situate my investigations. Resulting ideas and schemes are supplemented and informed by collaboration, compulsive collection, and random acts of giving. With experience in fine art and commercial printing, my artistic endeavors merge artistic concepts with design constructs. Much of my work is presented as series or sequence, using these traditionally commercial aspects of printmaking to compose my studio work. Ideas manifest in the form of drawings, paintings, cut paper, books, and various printmaking techniques including relief, silkscreen, intaglio, and digital printmaking.
These days I juggle my time between managing the
INKubator PRESS, a community printmaking studio at the Arts Incubator of Kansas City, leading workshops, dreaming and scheming in the INKubator PRESS print studio, rehabbing my home, dabbling as a lackadaisical gardener, and riding my bicycle. Generally my hands are stained with ink, soil, or grease.
