About the Artist
I am a printmaking artist born in Flint, Michigan. After pursuing printmaking studies at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA, I continued my studies in Italy, and Japan. The printmaking process enchants me, and I respect its egalitarian capability to make both information and original works of art accessible to everyone. Relief printmaking has been my primary medium for the past two decades, and my work as a graphic artist in my early career has influenced my aesthetic. Using a preponderance of pattern, color and line, stylized figures, and a personal visual vocabulary, I examine familial and social constructs, memories, and the meaning of home. Some of my inspirations include athletics, fashion, textiles, ceramics, and architecture. I hope viewers will observe my work through the lens of their own experience and construct a story or a meaning of their own. Above all, I am most pleased when my work resonates with an individual and provokes a nod of recognition or a smile.
Based in Flushing, Michigan
