ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I create hand-pulled intaglio prints based on thoughts of Renaissance life and feelings about the desert canyons where I live. Semi-abstract, my prints are characterized by graphic compositions, natural elements of design and subtle color harmonies. While printmaking has a long history, I craft my images with modern resources. They are made using the creative and expressive dynamics of a new, safer, non-toxic approach to printmaking that uses no harmful acids, solvents or chemicals. The result is a strikingly modern image that nonetheless retains much of the authority of the traditional medium.

Non-Toxic Printmaking

I have studied at the Canadian School for Non-Toxic Printmaking in Grande Prairie Canada where I developed a strong commitment to using viable, cost effective alternatives to toxic traditional intaglio techniques to produce superior results in all areas of the intaglio medium. I am currently exploring similar processes in lithography.
