Artist Statement
From the early temples of Karnak to the stained glass cathedral windows of the late Middle Ages, images convey a message or a story. In those creations, an artist/draftsman had to craft a story board to arrive at a solution. For me, printmaking seemed a natural extension of that story that allowed me to carry drawing forward into making multiples. In intaglio printmaking, I fell in love with the wonderful marks that came from copperplate work which had a density and freshness that pen, and pencil could not match.  My subject matter is varied. I am not a generalist in my approach to the creative process. Printmaking demands that you strive for a disciplined process, but not so narrow that you ignore the detours that give prints their freshness and sense of immediacy. Most of my prints are large as I take keen interest in the “monumental,” the pillared icon, and the undiscovered remnant.  My lifelong interest in world cultures and the natural sciences have opened potential content that I find challenging. I am inspired by historic structures and leverage them to suggest a background narrative. These landscapes can be incomplete or bundled with unrelated structures that occupy a stage or tableau. I sometimes use pure geometric shapes (spheres)as mobile avatars.
