III. ARTIST STATEMENT

"Heart, humor and humility lightens up a heavy load." (Joni Mitchell) A sound approach to art, especially printmaking.
 I am currently dedicated to making drawings, woodcut and wood engraving prints. I try to let the wood, ink and paper speak their own voice and add their own imprint to the resulting work; many images are inspired by the grain of the wood itself. I strive to show the public the difference between reproductions and original prints, by giving each original print tactile and visual qualities not possible with a reproductive method, but only with the precise printmaking method that created the work. The process must show in every print.
