Nightfall Tapestry III

Nightfall Tapestry II

 I am interested in how light carries with it the sense of place, time, and mood. My work is not a description of a place, but rather an emotional response to being in a place. I am intrigued by the paradox of the "Far" and the "Near" and how our focus continually shifts between the two.

All my work deals with process: drawing is the foundation for etching, painting and monotype. Color layers are added in transparencies to create a sense of depth. Printmaking techniques are integral in my image development.
