Artist Statement:

I use a variety of media including traditional printmaking, collage, markers, and acrylic paint to create small and large works on paper and panels. Most of the works are a response to a walk or daily travel through neighborhoods that I spend time in. I generally draw in a sketchbook or sometimes on a single sheet of paper while out in the field. I draw architecture and objects by looking. Often, bringing the drawings into my studio where I add sketches to paper or panels. I draw or paint from sketches, memory, photographs, and from invention. These works are about physical materials, color, and line and a playful response to my daily experience in the built environment.
