Nature is my refuge and my inspiration. Forests and fields of unspoiled lands provide space to connect with the origins of our very existence. It is in these places that I open my heart to experience exhilarating beauty, curiosity, and primal wisdom. Nature also lays bare the ravages of time. In this too there is beauty.

I am an artist/printmaker whose imagery is drawn from my relationship with the natural world. I use a variety of printmaking techniques to create etchings, woodcuts, monotypes, and lithographs. My process is a reflection of my relationship with the earth. It involves layering of natural textures, exploring the interactions of light and shadow, and making visible the often-invisible forces that flow through the forests, hills, rivers, and lakes that make up 29% of our planet.

The threats to the environment caused by our changing climate are compounding at an alarming rate. In my work, I pay homage to the beauty of native forests and landscapes while overlaying an aura of tension. Admire the beauty but know that something is very wrong.

My intaglios and woodcuts also explore nature’s complexities. Using patterns created by leaves, branches and bark, my prints suggest fractals, illuminating the detailed and delicate structures of plants and trees. Look closely. Pay attention. Know that the earth is in trouble.
