ARTIST STATEMENT
 
 My art focuses on people and relationships, derived from actual and mythical subjects. I work from life, sketches and photographs, creating a personal narrative. The dominant medium I work with is intaglio (etching). I enjoy the sculptural quality of the etched plates. Each plate contains the memory of every mark that has been added to the surface.  When the marks are scraped away, there is often evidence of lines and tones left behind.  I also paint, and for a portion of my show I have included monoprints - which combine the repeatable element of etching (the etched line) and the painterly surface of monotype (meaning "one" print).
