“My experience as a mural artist and painter led to my passion for monotype printmaking and mixed-media work, and this relationship between paint and print is highlighted in the composition and color employed in my work. Themes of identity, expression, and memory are often explored in my prints. My interest in monotype printmaking offers the unique challenge to let go of controlling the outcome of a print and focus on its composition, color and the process of creating.”
