Looking, responding, discovering. Art-making for me is the process of creating a visual tapestry of relationships between color, shape, texture and movement. I explore organic forms, piecing them together to build patterns and connections.

 

I am interested in using floral forms layered together to create a sense of community within my compositions. My paintings are inspired by my Seattle coastal environment, with its ever-blooming gardens and natural sea forms.

 

The work is hand-printed from both linoleum and paper collagraph plates onto rag paper. I build layers of colors with inked images, finishing them with gouache, colored pencil and acrylic paint.
