Artist Statement

I am an artist with a background in graphic design, painting, drawing and photography. I am interested in exploring various ways of printing without a press. I have played with monotypes, cyanotypes, rust prints, eco-prints and my own original stencils. Currently I am experimenting with a Silhouette mint machine to make printing plates from my photographs. I then create a relief print on watercolor paper and hand color them with watercolor paints.
