About the Artist

My paintings recall places, people and experiences in my life through the use of personal symbolism. Nature, spirituality, and the idea of seeking out something are important themes in the images that I create. The symbols that I utilize in my work over time have developed into a personal visual vocabulary. I apply various printmaking tools and techniques to my paintings. They are created on wood and carved as if it were a woodcut block. I use a brayer to apply paint to the surface. The result is an image built through a process of layering.
