About my art

My art reflects my life as a new artist, learning through exploration of different drawing, painting, and printmaking techniques and mediums. I make art because it is a grounding, centering practice for me.

My work often reveals my attraction to faces and nature and images from daily life that have personal meaning. A cat, a place, a protest, a bowl… My abstract work has come about mostly through structured experiences. These immersions have included formal coursework and explorations of color and mark making through painting to live music.

I am drawn to printmaking for many reasons: the physicality of it, the versatility of it, the challenge of thinking backwards, the element of surprise… The prints I make reflect different techniques I have explored over the past couple of years: linocut, woodcut, etching, dry point, lithograph, cyanotype, gel plate, monoprint, collagraph, and pochoir.

I believe it's never too late to find and express yourself through art.
